Published: June 2014

Gastric serrated adenoma is an apparently rare adenoma phenotype characterized by branched villi exhibiting lateral saw-tooth indentations lined with dysplastic cells. Out of the 21 gastric serrated adenomas now in record, including the case reported here, 76% (n=16) exhibited invasive carcinoma. In contrast, only 15% of the gastric tubular/villous (that is, non-serrated) adenomas reported in the literature revealed invasive growth. Although the cause for the virulent behaviour of gastric serrated adenomas remains elusive, it would appear that not only the degree of severity of the cellular dysplasia but also the serrated ornamental configurations might play a particular role in the unusual virulence of these adenomas.

Colorectal cancer screening based on fecal immunochemical test and risk assessment: a population-based study including two million participants in China.

J Epidemiol

Department of Epidemiology, Jiangsu Key Lab of Cancer Biomarkers, Prevention and Treatment, Collaborative Innovation Center for Cancer Personalized Medicine, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University.

Background: The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) has been widely used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, yet the practical performance of FIT combined with questionnaire-based risk assessment (QRA) remains undetermined. Moreover, risk factors for distinct CRC precursors identified in screening have been rarely compared.

Methods: This study was based on a population-based CRC screening in China, with 2,120,340 participants completing both FIT and QRA.

Olympus Corporation developed texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) as a novel image-enhancing endoscopic technique. This topic highlights a series of hot-topic articles that investigated the efficacy of TXI for gastrointestinal disease identification in the clinical setting. A randomized controlled trial demonstrated improvements in the colorectal adenoma detection rate (ADR) and the mean number of adenomas per procedure (MAP) of TXI compared with those of white-light imaging (WLI) observation (58.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the most prevalent synchronous malignancy in patients with gastric cancer. This large retrospective study aims to clarify correlations between gastric histopathology stages and risks of specific colorectal neoplasms, to optimize screening and reduce preventable CRC.

Methods: Clinical data of 36,708 patients undergoing gastroscopy and colonoscopy from 2005-2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
