Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and patient tolerance of three different bowel preparation methods for capsule endoscopy (CE), including a clear liquid diet, aqueous sodium phosphate, and polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution.
- The cleanliness of the small intestine was found to be similar across all three methods, with no significant differences in diagnostic yields, transit times, or patient satisfaction.
- The clear liquid diet was the most well-received among patients, indicating that it is a sufficient and preferable option for bowel preparation before CE.
Background And Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent types of cancer affecting both men and women in developed countries. Clinical and molecular evidence suggests that there are multiple biochemical pathways involved in its susceptibility, pathogenesis and prognosis. Several studies have reported a significant association between the incidence of CRC and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Its main component, CAV1, modulates different pathways in cellular physiology. The emerging evidence pointing to the role of CAV1 in cancer led us to study whether different alleles of this gene are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC).
