Background: Current post-polypectomy guidelines do not consider adenoma location. We compared the risk of metachronous colorectal neoplasia (CRN) according to adenoma location.
Methods: We collected data from 9710 patients who underwent follow-up colonoscopy after adenoma removal. Patients were classified according to baseline adenoma location: distal only (n=4665), proximal only (n=3827), and both sides (n=1218).
Results: The risk of metachronous CRN in patients with proximal only adenomas was higher than that in those with distal only adenomas (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]=1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.04-1.21), while the risk of metachronous advanced CRN (ACRN) was not different between the two groups. Among patients aged <50 years, the risk of metachronous CRN in those with proximal only non-advanced adenomas (NAAs) was higher than that in those with only distal NAAs, while among patients aged ≥ 50 years, the risk in those with proximal only advanced adenomas (AAs) was higher than that in those with distal only AAs. However, the risk of metachronous ACRN did not differ based on adenoma location in patients aged < 50 and ≥ 50 years.
Conclusions: Proximal adenoma was associated with an increased risk of metachronous CRN, but not with an increased risk of metachronous ACRN, supporting the current guidelines recommending the same surveillance interval for distal and proximal adenoma without discrimination by adenoma location.

In today's world, with its continuing advancements in genetics, the identification of Lynch syndrome (LS) increasingly relies on sophisticated genetic testing techniques. Most guidelines recommend a tailored surveillance program, as well as personalized prophylactic and therapeutic approaches, according to the type of dMMR gene mutation. Carriers of path_MLH1 and path_MSH2 genes have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), despite intensive colonoscopic surveillance.

We aimed to analyze potential predictors for the development of metachronous fractures (MFs) after osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs), with particular focus on radiological variables obtained at initial X-rays and computed tomography (CT) examinations, treatment applied (conservative management [CM] versus percutaneous vertebroplasty [PV]), and fractures located at the thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2). We conducted a two-center, observational retrospective study, including patients with single-level OVFs treated with CM or VP. We collected socio-demographic, radiological and treatment-related variables.

High-risk colorectal colitis-associated neoplasia (HR-CAN) can be difficult to treat using traditional endoscopic resection methods. Aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) on IBD patients with HR-CANs.

Background: Adherence to post-polypectomy surveillance is poor despite evidence that it is associated with lower risk of future colorectal cancer.
Methods: We evaluated 6,210 bowel screening participants between 2009-2016 in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to assess potential barriers to post-polypectomy surveillance.

Introduction And Importance: Comprehensive reports on surgery for metachronous multiple primary lung cancers after the third or subsequent surgeries are lacking. Herein, we report a case in which six radical surgeries were performed for metachronous primary lung cancer.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 62-year-old man when he underwent his first surgery, a right lower lobectomy, and the pathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma.
