The risk of malignant degeneration of colonic polyps has traditionally rested on various roentgenographic criteria such as broad base, irregular surface and size larger than 1 cm. With the aim of facilitating the choice of treatment of colonic polyps, an appraisal is made of the morphology of 200 polyps removed from 154 patients. The results of barium enema and double contrast techniques are compared with those obtained at colonoscopy. Radiography is found to have considerable shortcomings in evaluation of the appearance of the polyp. As the correlation of the gross morphology of the polyp of histology is weak endoscopic polypectomy should be performed whenever possible.

Introduction: Colorectal non-polypoid lesions (NPLs) are flat, hard-to-detect and mainly right-sided lesions. We aimed to assess the prevalence and endoscopic features of NPLs lesions in a large cohort of screening patients in Northern Italy.
Methods: FIT-positive subjects between 50 and 69 years old who had undergone at least a screening colonoscopy from March 2005 to December 2017 at the Endoscopy Unit of Ferrara were included.

Background: The prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is higher than in the general population, in Latin America there is a progressive increase of UC, and information about CRC screening in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the findings of endoscopic surveillance of CRC in patients with IBD according to available technology.
Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in Latin American countries, in patients with UC, predominantly with more than 8 years of diagnosis and different degrees of disease activity.

Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to pose a major public health challenge, ranking among the most common malignancies globally and being a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Most CRCs originate from adenomatous polyps, underscoring the importance of detecting and removing these precancerous growths as a key preventive measure against CRC. In particular, large colonic polyps (≥10 mm) warrant special attention due to their increased risk of progressing to malignancy compared to smaller polyps.

Background: Invasive bacterial biofilms are implicated in colorectal cancer. However, their prevalence on histologically normal tissues and polyps is not well established, and risk factors of biofilms have not been previously investigated. Here we evaluated potential procedural and demographic risk factors associated with biofilm status using a cross-sectional observational cohort.

Colon neoplasia is one of the major malignancies in industrialized countries due to their Western-style food habits. It accounts for more than 50% of the population developing adenomatous polyps by the age of 70 years, but 10% of cancers in developed countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pathological role of the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4/stromal-derived factor 1 axis (CXCR4-SDF-1 axis), and the inhibitory molecules PD-1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) in postoperative colon cancer patients undergoing treatment with chemotherapy (oxaliplatin and capecitabine) and estimate the correlation between these studied factors to deeply understand the basic mechanisms and potential diagnostic or therapeutic effects.
