Colonoscopy Remains an Important Option for Primary Screening for Colorectal Cancer.
Dig Dis Sci
December 2024
Division of Gastroenterology/Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Colonoscopy is the most commonly used screening test for colorectal cancer in the U.S., with high sensitivity for detecting precancerous lesions, allowing screenings every 10 years, and possibly every 15 years for those with normal results.
- - There is substantial evidence showing colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, supported by various studies, including comparisons with other screening methods like flexible sigmoidoscopy.
- - Advances in colonoscopy techniques, such as improved mucosal exposure methods and non-device strategies, have enhanced detection rates of precancerous lesions, along with safer resection techniques for small lesions, increasing the effectiveness of this screening option.
Significant Missed Polyps in the UK Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP): A Retrospective Analysis of Prevalence and Contributing Factors.

Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant public health challenge. Patients having abnormal faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results are offered a colonoscopy. The effectiveness of colonoscopies can, however, often be challenged by the occurrence of missed polyps.

Background: UC patients suffer more from colorectal cancer (CRC) than the general population, which increases with disease duration. Early colonoscopy is difficult because ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UCAC) lesions are flat and multifocal. Our study aimed to identify promising UCAC biomarkers that are complementary endoscopy strategies in the early stages.

Gastroenterology
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri.
Description: Nonampullary duodenal polyps are found in up to 5% of all upper endoscopies; the vast majority are identified incidentally in asymptomatic patients. Although most are benign, adenomas are estimated to account for 10%-20% of these lesions. Most international guidelines recommend that all duodenal adenomas should be considered for endoscopic resection; this may be associated with a near 15% adverse event rate (predominantly bleeding and perforation) in prospective studies, with substantial local recurrence on surveillance.

Department of Coloproctology, Aizu Medical Center, Fukushima Medical University, Aizuwakamatsu, Japan.
Diagnostic performance of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for deep submucosally invasive (T1b) colorectal cancer was excellent, but the "regions of interest" (ROI) within images are not obvious. Class activation mapping (CAM) enables identification of the ROI that CAD utilizes for diagnosis. The purpose of this study was a quantitative investigation of the difference between CAD and endoscopists.
