- Gastric cancer (GC) is a serious illness, being the fifth most common cancer and causing a lot of deaths around the world.
- While overall cases of GC are going down, cases of a specific type called proximal GC are increasing, which means we need better prevention methods.
- Treatments like endoscopic resection help remove early stages of cancer safely and effectively, with less pain and shorter hospital stays; two common methods are EMR and ESD, which help doctors take out cancerous growths in different ways.
Article Synopsis
- A study was done to understand how often colorectal cancer (CRC) happens after colonoscopies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- The research found that about 30.8% of IBD patients developed post-colonoscopy CRC within three years, compared to just 6.8% in those without IBD.
- Also, patients with ulcerative colitis had a higher rate of this cancer than those with Crohn's Disease, which means more research is needed to understand why this happens.
Background/aims: Endoscopic stenting for stricturing Crohn's disease (CD) is an emerging treatment that achieves more persistent dilatation of the stricture over time than endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD). We aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of stenting for the treatment of CD strictures.
Methods: A systematic electronic literature search was performed (PROSPERO; no.
