Abstract

Endoscopic removal of large, nonpedunculated colorectal lesions is challenging. Long-term outcome data based on standardized protocols, including detailed inspection of the resection site, are scarce. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection (ER) of large, nonpedunculated lesions (LNLs; >20 mm) and to assess the long-term recurrence rate afterward. A total of 243 consecutive patients (141 men, 102 women) with 252 adenomas (>20 mm) was followed up using a standardized protocol after complete ER. After endoscopic treatment, the patients received standardized follow-up examinations after 3-6 months and 12 months. The postpolypectomy scar was re-examined, assessed for residual neoplasia, and biopsied at each follow-up colonoscopy. Evident residual neoplasia was noted after 3-6 months in 58 of 183 lesions (31.69%). After 12 months, 126 LNLs were examined, with 19 late recurrences (16.37%). Twenty-one (6.5%) postpolypectomy scars were not detected during 321 surveillance examinations. Biopsy evidence of residual/recurrent lesions was found in 16 of 228 macroscopically inconspicuous polypectomy scars (7%). All residual adenomas were treated using ER and/or argon plasma coagulation....Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
