As dysplasia is not visible during routine endoscopy, random biopsies in the four quadrants every 1\u20132 cm are recommended. Endoscopic fluorescence detection (EFD) after sensitisation with 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ALA) with different modes and concentrations was assessed to optimise the technique for detection of dysplasia or early cancers. 5-ALA is converted intracellularly to protoporphyrin IX which accumulates in malignant tissue and can be detected by typical red fluorescence after illumination with blue light.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 47 patients with Barrett's oesophagus, 10 with known dysplasia, 58 fluorescence endoscopies were performed after sensitisation with different concentrations of 5-ALA given orally (5, 10, 20, 30 mg\/kg) or locally (500\u20131000 mg) by spraying the mucosa via a catheter. EFD was performed 4\u20136 hours after systemic and 1\u20132 hours after local sensitisation using a special light source delivering white or blue light. A total of 243 biopsies of red fluorescent (n=113) and non-fluorescent areas (n=130) were taken.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In three patients, two early cancers and dysplasia, not visible during routine endoscopy, were detected by EFD. Thirty three biopsies revealed either low or high grade dysplasia. Sensitivity for detection of dysplastic lesions ranged from 60% after local sensitisation with 500 mg to 80%, 100%, and 100% after systemic application of 5-ALA 10, 20, and 30 mg\/kg, respectively. However, specificity was best for local sensitisation (70%) while systemic administration revealed values between 27% and 56%. Using 5 mg\/kg, no red fluorescence in dysplastic lesions was found. No severe side effects were noted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EFD is a promising tool to detect non-visible dysplastic lesions in Barrett's oesophagus using 5-ALA sensitisation.
