Making colonoscopy‐based screening more efficient: A “gateopener” approach
What's new? Although colonoscopy is a widely used screening tool for colorectal cancer (CRC), it is relatively inefficient, as most of the screened subjects would never develop CRC even without screening. In the present study, use of a low‐threshold fecal immunochemical test (“gateopener” FIT) was investigated as a means of streamlining screening ...

Systemic circulating microRNA landscape in Lynch syndrome
What's new? Systemic circulating microRNA expression patterns (c‐miRnomes) are altered during sporadic carcinogenesis and they have predictive potential in early cancer detection. However, their potential in carriers of inherited pathogenic mismatch‐repair gene variants associated with Lynch syndrome remains understudied.

Risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia according to age and gender. [PDF]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer related morbidity and death. Despite the fact that the mean age at diagnosis of CRC is lower in men, screening by colonoscopy or fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is initiated at same age in ...

Cecum intubation rate as quality indicator in clinical versus screening colonoscopy
Background and study aims Some guidelines recommend a minimum standard of 90 % cecal intubation rate (CIR) in routine clinics and 95 % in screening colonoscopy, while others have not made this distinction – both with limited evidence to support either ...

FoldIt: Haustral Folds Detection and Segmentation in Colonoscopy Videos [PDF]
Haustral folds are colon wall protrusions implicated for high polyp miss rate during optical colonoscopy procedures. If segmented accurately, haustral folds can allow for better estimation of missed surface and can also serve as valuable landmarks for registering pre-treatment virtual (CT) and optical colonoscopies, to guide navigation towards the ...

Opportunistic colonoscopy in healthy individuals: A non-trivial risk of adenoma
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Opportunistic colonoscopy may be beneficial in reducing the incidence of CRC by detecting its precursors.
