结直肠癌（CRC）是一个重大的医疗威胁，在欧洲，它分别是女性和男性的第二和第三大常见癌症。早期发现大肠癌是提高生存率的关键。具体而言，五年生存率随着癌症的病理进展而降低，在癌症IV期的情况下高达11%。用于在CRC筛查中检测癌组织的常见诊断技术具有大约14%至32%的遗漏率，因此导致筛查的不可靠和不准确的解决方案。在本文中，我们提出了一种创新的力传感仪器的远程触诊结肠内壁的设计和初步结果。该仪器配备有三根光纤，每根光纤具有与标准结肠镜操作通道兼容的尺寸的光纤布拉格光栅传感器。
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant medical threat and it represents in Europe the second and third most common cancer for women and men, respectively. Early detection of CRC is a key-aspect to improve survival rate. Specifically, the survival rate at five years decreases with the pathological progress of the cancer, up to 11% in case of cancer stage IV. Common diagnostic techniques for the detection of cancerous tissue in CRC screening have a miss rate in the order of 14% to 32%, thus resulting as not reliable and accurate solutions for screening. In this paper, we present the design and preliminary results of an innovative force-sensing instrument for remote palpation of the inner colonic wall. The instrument is equipped with three optical fibres having each one a fibre Bragg grating sensor with a dimension compatible with standard colonoscope operating channels.
