Early colorectal cancer can be treated with curative resection if the depth of invasion is limited to the submucosa (pathologic T category pT1 in the TNM classification). Macroscopically early colorectal cancer and its precursor lesions present as elevated polyps or non-polypoid flat lesions. Microscopically, precursor lesions are characterized by intraepithelial neoplasia and present as classic adenomas or serrated adenomas. Precursor lesions may already contain foci of early colorectal cancer. Early colorectal cancer can be treated by endoscopic resection. Careful handling of the specimen is required in order to optimally identify the factors that may predict an adverse outcome. Whenever a favourable tumour grade is found, without vascular invasion and tumour budding, there seems to be a low risk for adverse outcome and laparotomy may thus be avoided.

Artificial intelligence methods applied to longitudinal data from electronic health records for prediction of cancer: a scoping review.
BMC Med Res Methodol

Background: Early detection and diagnosis of cancer are vital to improving outcomes for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown promise in the early detection and diagnosis of cancer, but there is limited evidence on methods that fully exploit the longitudinal data stored within electronic health records (EHRs). This review aims to summarise methods currently utilised for prediction of cancer from longitudinal data and provides recommendations on how such models should be developed.

Background: A growing number of centers offer hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy for advanced liver malignancies. While small series have demonstrated feasibility of robotic HAIP placement, comparison of outcomes with open placement is lacking. We compared outcomes after robotic versus open HAIP placement.

Background: Postoperative recurrence (POR) occurs in up to 70% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The Rutgeerts score (RS) system may overestimate the prevalence of "real" anastomotic recurrence. Hence, we aimed to compare the prevalence of anastomotic POR in CD and the presence of ulcers at anastomotic sites in patients with right-side resection for colonic cancer (CC).

Introduction: Previous research has demonstrated that after neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer, the sensitivity of magnetic resonance complete response (mrCR) for detecting pathologic complete response (pCR) in the surgical specimen ranges from 74 to 94%. Patient and provider interest in nonoperative management of rectal cancer that responds favorably to neoadjuvant therapy has grown, necessitating stronger evidence for how well radiographic complete response truly predicts pCR. We sought to determine the current association between mrCR and pCR in locally advanced rectal cancer.

About the authors: Seval Ulubay, PhD, Samsun Gazi State Hospital, Samsun, Türkiye.
Colorectal cancer can be diagnosed early with screening tests; therefore, patients' beliefs regarding colorectal cancer screening are closely related to clinical and pathological disease stages at the time of diagnosis. This study aimed to determine participation in colorectal cancer screening programs and health beliefs related to protection from colorectal cancer among patients aged 40-70 years and evaluate factors affecting their participation in such screening programs. This descriptive study was conducted in a state hospital in Türkiye between May 2021 and December 2021 with the participation of 1,016 patients.
