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.

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.

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).

Endoscopic Therapy of Colorectal Neoplasms
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1992The endoscopic management of benign colorectal neoplasms not removable by standard snare electrocautery techniques as well as the nonsurgical management of colorectal malignancies are discussed. Endoscopic laser therapy and techniques are emphasized. Recent laser technologic advances are highlighted.

Benign colorectal neoplasms undetected by colonoscopy
Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1992This retrospective investigation assessed the sensitivity of colonoscopy for the detection of colonic polyps seen previously at barium enema examination. Included in the study were 77 patients with 106 polypoid lesions. Films showing lesions not subsequently seen at colonoscopy were reviewed and only those lesions with a visible point of attachment ...

Dietary Factors Related to Colorectal Neoplasms
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1993Although the etiology of colorectal cancer is multifactorial, experimental evidence suggests a role for dietary factors in the promotion of this disease. The complex interrelations governing energy balance and the consumption of fat, fiber, and micronutrients make it difficult to define the precise role of specific dietary factors in the etiology of ...

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.

Molecular Evolution of Colorectal Neoplasms [PDF]
, 1996 Strategies for preventing colorectal cancer will be more effective if they are based upon a thorough understanding of the evolutionary pathway leading from normality through to malignancy. Fundamental insights into the process of colorectal carcinogenesis have been achieved through the advent of molecular technologies.
