Cancer-Related Venous Thrombosis: Residual Vein Thrombosis Improves Screening for Occult Cancer.

2007

Abstract Background. Clinical advantages of extensive screening for occult cancer in patients with idiopathic Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is still debated since this approach improves early detection of cancer but not cancer-related mortality. Recently, we have demonstrated that patients with Residual Vein Thrombosis (RVT), 3 months after DVT, have a high risk for cancer in the subsequent 2 years (Siragusa S et al. Blood2005;106(11):OC262). At the present it is unknown whether RVT assessment may be used to select patients, with idiopathic DVT, who require screening for occult cancer. Objective of the study. We conducted a prospective study evaluating whether a RVT-based screening for cancer …

Diagnostic accuracy of computed tomographic colonography for the detection of advanced neoplasia in individuals at increased risk of colorectal cance…

2009

CONTEXT: Computed tomographic (CT) colonography has been recognized as an alternative for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in average-risk individuals, but less information is available on its performance in individuals at increased risk of CRC. OBJECTIVE: To assess the accuracy of CT colonography in detecting advanced colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic individuals at increased risk of CRC using unblinded colonoscopy as the reference standard. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study. Individuals at increased risk of CRC due to either family history of advanced neoplasia in first-degree relatives, personal history of colorectal adenomas, or positiv…

Programmed colorectal cancer screening decreases incidence and mortality

2019

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer- related deaths in the world (1). Detecting and removing precancerous lesions or detecting tumors in early stages through endoscopy decreases CRC mortality (2). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that CRC screening based on guaiac fecal occult blood testing (gFOBT) and flexible sigmoidoscopy is effective in reducing incidence and mortality rates of CRC (3).

Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy and Chromoendoscopy - A New Option of Surveillance in Patients with Ureterosigmoidostomy or Rectosigmoid Pouch

2010

Purpose In patients with bladder exstrophy-epispadias-complex (BEEC) or in selected patients with bladder loss for other reasons, ureterosigmoidostomy (USIG) & rectosigmoid pouch (Mainz Pouch (MZP) II) has been used at our institution. This diversion carries a lifelong risk for secondary malignancies. Therefore annual colonoscopy is recommended. Identification of potentially malignant structures can be challenging, and biopsies are taken in doubt, with the risk of injuring the ureterocolic implantation site. Using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) and chromoendoscopy, the uretero-intestinal anastomosis is better visualized compared to conventional colonoscopy, and target biopsies could be…
