Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most prevalent cancer in the world, and the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) can be mentioned among the CRC screening methods based on the detection of occult blood in the feces, which may indicate upper gastrointestinal (UGI) malignancies; therefore, pa...
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant neoplasm worldwide, with ~ 150 thousand new cases each year. Screening policies have brought significant progress due to the possibility of early diagnosis and polyp resection. Therefore, there is a need for continuous evaluation of the q...
Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a key quality indicator in screening colonoscopy, closely linked to colorectal
cancer (CRC) prevention. Currently, the minimum recommended ADR is > 30% with an aspirational goal of >
35%; and the sessile serrated lesion detection rate (SSLDR) minimum is > 7% with an aspira...
Introducción: El melanoma anorrectal es un tumor infrecuente que se caracteriza por ser agresivo y de mal pronóstico; constituye el 1 por ciento entre los tumores malignos colorrectales. Es más frecuente en pacientes femeninas de más de 50 años y alcanza un pico máximo en la octava década de la vi...
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent neoplasia worldwide. Despite the significant advances
in surgical techniques and the development of new targeted antineoplastic therapies for this type of tumor,
primary prevention and early diagnosis of malignant precursor lesions will continue to be th...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide. Although improvements in detection and
treatment have been implemented; CRC incidence, prevalence, and mortality remain high, even in developed
countries. The risk of developing this cancer is related to poor eating habits, smoking, in...
Objective: To develop a low-cost simulator model and a colonoscope with materials that are easily accessible to offer training on colonoscopy skills during undergraduate studies. Since this is the procedure of choice for colorectal cancer screening, the general practitioner must be able to recognize its ...
Background: The surgery with total mesorectal excision recommended by R. J. Heald in 1982 is the gold standard. Rectal cancer (RC) surgery has a morbidity rate ranging from 6 to 35%, and it can cause functional issues such as sexual, urinary, and bowel dysfunction in the long term. Neoadjuvant chemoradio...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death; however, its early detection can improve the survival. Colonic polyps are considered one of the CRC's major risk factors. Throughout many biological processes and malignancies, the non-coding RNAs...
Objective: Colonoscopy is increasingly performed in octogenarians for the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC), but its benefits may be outweighed by its risks. The aim of the present study was to identify the risk factors for CRC in octogenarians presenting for colonoscopy to help stratify the need for ...
