Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is primarily a disease of urban, industrialized societies. In the US, the lifetime risk of CRC is similar for men (4.4%) and women (4.1%). Recent data have suggested that the incidence rates of CRC may be decreasing gradually in some subgroups of the population but increasing in adults younger than 50 ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1995
Colorectal cancer is a very important cause of death and disability throughout the world. In the future, it may be possible to reduce the risk of this disease through such measures as dietary modification or use of aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but this remains to be proved.

Origins and morphogenesis of colorectal neoplasms
APMIS, 1999Gastrointestinal stem cells are considered pivotal in colonic carcinogenesis. There is evidence to suggest that early microadenomas in the colon are polyclonal in origin. Adenomas, once initiated, enlarge by the process of crypt fission. It is also the main mechanism by which neoplastic clones spread through the colorectal epithelium. Both concepts are

Prevention and Chemoprevention of Colorectal Neoplasms
Digestive and Liver Disease, 2002Main purpose of the review is to analyse the impact of the current approaches for colorectal cancer prevention, including chemoprevention. Available evidence does not support the contention that a more appropriate diet can be of great help in the prevention of these neoplasms, either because the scientific evidence is poor and highly controversial, or ...

Screening for Colorectal Neoplasms
2009Evidence is mounting that colorectal adenocarcinoma can be prevented by detecting and removing adenomatous polyps, and that detecting early-stage cancers reduces mortality from the disease. Both polyps and early-stage cancers are usually asymptomatic; cancers that have grown large enough to cause symptoms have a much worse prognosis.

Abstract Colorectal cancer is primarily a disease of urban, industrialized societies. In the United States, the lifetime risk for the development of this cancer is approximately 6%. Recent data have suggested that the incidence rates for colorectal cancer may be decreasing gradually in some subgroups of the population.

Prevalence of Colorectal Neoplasms in Asian Americans
Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2008To determine the yield of colonoscopy in a predominantly Asian American gastroenterology practice in California from 8/2003 to 2/2005.A total 2,723 subjects were included: 87% were Asian and 13% were non-Asian. Advanced neoplasia prevalence was 12% in Asian men and 9% in non-Asian men (P = 0.21), and 8% and 7% in women (P = 0.62).

Chemoprevention of Colorectal Neoplasms
Archives of Surgery, 1986The organospecific, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced rat tumor model was used to test tumor formation in groups of animals receiving regular chow, powdered chow with 7%/wt ascorbic acid supplement, pelleted chow with 1%/wt beta-carotene supplement, and pelleted chow with placebo beadlets. Following a 16-week induction period, animals were killed and tumor

The Importance of the Macroscopic Classification of Colorectal Neoplasms
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2010The importance and prevalence of the superficial lesions in the colon and rectum caught worldwide public attention in 2008 when Soetikno and colleagues reported the prevalence of non-polypoid (flat and depressed) colorectal neoplasms in asymptomatic and symptomatic adults in North America and the public media disseminated their findings.

[Screening of colorectal neoplasm].
Der Radiologe, 2009In Germany approximately 29,000 people died of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in 2002; the risk of getting CRC is 4-6% in Germany, rising with age from the 50th year of life. About one third of all people over 50 years of age have polyps with the potential for malignant transformation in the colorectum, which is a sufficiently high prevalence rate to ...
