Jan 11th, 2022 - Narrow band imaging provides an accurate diagnosis of colonic polyps. However, these diagnostic modalities are not used as standard endoscopic tools in most institutions. This study aims to investigate whether the chicken skin mucosa (CSM) surroun...

Dec 27th, 2021 - The POLD1 gene is involved in DNA proofreading to ensure accurate DNA replication. Some germline alterations in its exonuclease domain are associated with predisposition to cancers and colonic polyps. Only a few pathogenic variants have been clear...

Dec 23rd, 2021 - Endoscopic resection of colonic polyps has been shown to reduce colorectal cancer-related mortality. Despite the clinical benefit of colonoscopic polypectomy, post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) occurs in up to 6.5% of patients. Current international ...

Dec 9th, 2021 - Screening colonoscopy has decreased the incidence of colorectal carcinoma in the previous decades. However, there are reports of missed polyps and interval CRC following screening colonoscopy. Several factors may affect the ADR, PDR, and missed le...

Nov 25th, 2021 - Germline loss-of-function variants in AXIN2 are associated with oligodontia and ectodermal dysplasia. The association between colorectal cancer (CRC) and colonic polyposis is less clear despite this gene now being included in multi-gene panels for...

Dec 9th, 2021 - Screening colonoscopy has decreased the incidence of colorectal carcinoma in the previous decades. However, there are reports of missed polyps and interval CRC following screening colonoscopy. Several factors may affect the ADR, PDR, and missed le...

Nov 18th, 2021 - Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a novel technique for the removal of advanced colonic polyps with high-risk features. ESD is minimally invasive and allows the removal of colonic adenomatous polyp without resorting to surgery. The process...

Sep 29th, 2021 - Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of cancer death in the US. The pathogenesis of CRC is complex, involving a progressive transition of the healthy colonic mucosa to pre-cancerous polyps, and eventually to CRC. One of the factors that are...

Apr 12th, 2021 - The purpose of this study is to see what effects a calcium-rich, multi-mineral-rich natural product, Aquamin®, derived from marine algae, has compared to calcium alone or a sugar pill (placebo). Investigators are looking at whether these supplemen...

Apr 2nd, 2021 - John P. Leonard, MD: Before we move to the targeted therapies, I’m going to put you all on the spot. I’m going to give you 4 general scenarios. What’s your typical go-to regimen? We’ve talked about all of the nuances, and we sliced and diced the p...

Sep 23rd, 2019 - High-intensity surveillance in patients whose colorectal adenomas were removed at screening translated to modest lifetime benefits versus low-intensity surveillance -- with acceptable incremental cost-effectiveness, a Dutch-U.S. microsimulation st...

May 31st, 2019 - SAN DIEGO – Artificial intelligence is improving the accuracy of optical biopsies, a development that may ultimately avoid the need for tissue biopsies of many low-risk colonic polyps, Michael Byrne, MD, said at the annual Digestive Disease Week.

Aug 13th, 2018 - Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) in colonoscopy may provide real-time differentiation between neoplastic polyps requiring resection and non-neoplastic polyps that can safely be left in place, according to a Japanese study in Annals of Internal Medic...

May 25th, 2016 - SAN DIEGO – A colonoscopy capsule that requires no bowel preparation safely detected pedunculated and sessile polyps as small as 7 mm in a feasibility study of 54 volunteers. The capsule scans the colon with very-low-dose X-rays, and the images ar.
