Article Synopsis
- PTID accounts for around 5% of primary gastrointestinal tumors, with varying histological types showing both benign and malignant characteristics.
- A study analyzed 45 patients, primarily diagnosed at an average age of 54.2 years, with most cases (86%) found in the jejunum; GISTs, lymphomas, and adenocarcinomas were the most common tumor types identified.
- Double-balloon enteroscopy served as the primary diagnostic and treatment method, supporting various endoscopic procedures for managing these tumors, including biopsies and surgical interventions.
Unlabelled: The management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is mainly medical, however, more than 70% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 25% with ulcerative colitis (UC) will require surgery during their lifetime.
Objective: To evaluate medical, surgical management and evolution in patients with moderate-to-severe IBD.
Materials And Methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective study from January 2011 to December 2019 in the Gastroenterology Service of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital, Lima-Peru.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent cancer in the world and the second cause of death of neoplastic origin. Synchronism in CCR is approximately 3-6%. The gastrointestinal tract is the most frequent place where neuroendocrine neoplasms (NNE) settle and a special type of these neuroendocrine carcinomas (CNE) are rare.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of CD patients in relation to the presence or not of granulomas in histological findings.
Materials And Methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective study in patients diagnosed with CD from January 2004 to December 2019 in the gastroenterology department of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital, Lima-Peru.
Article Synopsis
- - Crohn's disease (CD) is a serious, long-lasting inflammation of the digestive system that is becoming more common in Latin America, severely affecting patients' quality of life.
- - A study at a major hospital in Lima, Peru, analyzed 55 CD patients, revealing that the average age of diagnosis was about 56 years, with common symptoms including abdominal pain and weight loss.
- - Key findings included a mix of disease locations and types, predominantly treated with corticosteroids and anti-TNF therapies; about one-third of patients required surgery, and there was a 5.4% mortality rate in the cohort.

Unlabelled: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent worldwide. Approximately one third of cases originate from the serrated pathway of carcinogenesis, with colonic sessile serrated lesions (SSL) being the main cause of interval CRC.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical, endoscopic, histological characteristics and endoscopic management of colonic LSS.

Objective: To evaluate the response to treatment with anti-TNFs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Materials And Methods: Prospective observational study conducted in the Gastroenterology service of the Guillermo Almenara National Hospital, from January 2015 to August 2018.
Results: 31 patients with inflammatory bowel disease who received maintenance therapy with Infliximab were evaluated.
