Summary of the sensitivity and the false-positive rate for the 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and the sensitivity for the magnifying image-enhanced endoscopy when the results of pathological validation were considered as gold standard.
| Sensitivity | False-positive rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 5-aminole vulinic acid-mediated PDD | 66.7% (4/6)* 86.5% (45/52) |
33.3% (2/6)* |
| Magnifying image-enhanced endoscope | 90.5% (38/42) | N/A |
*new lesions, N/A, not applied.
