What's New? Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening is increasingly common as a population‐based screening tool for colorectal cancer (CRC). If the follow‐up colonoscopy after a positive FIT detects only low‐risk adenomas, those participants are recommended to continue biennial screenings, the same as people with negative FIT results.

Identifying prognostic structural features in tissue sections of colon cancer patients using point pattern analysis [PDF]
Diagnosis and prognosis of cancer is informed by the architecture inherent in cancer patient tissue sections. This architecture is typically identified by pathologists, yet advances in computational image analysis facilitate quantitative assessment of ...

The screening effectiveness of population screening programmes can differ from the screening efficacy measured in randomised controlled trials and is often difficult to measure directly. The authors used data on a subset of women born between 1935 and 1939 from the Million Women Study to estimate the effect of screening on colorectal cancer mortality ...

Unusual cause of right iliac fossa pain: sigmoid perforation due to ingested rabbit bone. Case report [PDF]
Disorders of an organ not usually found in the right iliac fossa, such as the sigmoid colon, are an uncommon cause of right iliac fossa pain. We present a case of right iliac fossa pain caused by a sigmoid perforation due to involuntary ingestion of a ...

Endocuff Vision Reduces Inspection Time Without Decreasing Lesion Detection in a Randomized Colonoscopy Trial [PDF]
Background & Aims Mucosal exposure devices improve detection of lesions during colonoscopy and have reduced examination times in uncontrolled studies. We performed a randomized trial of Endocuff Vision vs standard colonoscopy to compare differences in ...

Comprehensive genetic and epigenetic characterization of Lynch‐like syndrome patients
What's New? Lynch‐like syndrome is associated with development of colorectal cancer (CRC) with microsatellite instability and loss of expression of certain mismatch repair (MMR) genes, similar to Lynch syndrome, but unlike Lynch syndrome, the genetic cause of Lynch‐like syndrome (LLS) remains unknown.

Increased prevalence of colorectal adenomas in women with breast cancer [PDF]
Background: The frequency of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas was investigated in a large cohort of women with breast cancer in comparison with matched controls, since data on the occurrence of second tumors in women with breast cancer is controversial.

What's New? Serrated polyposis syndrome has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. HIC1 is a tumor suppressor gene commonly silenced in serrated polyps and several cancers. This study suggests HIC1 as a novel germline predisposition factor to serrated polyposis syndrome, with variants altering gene transcriptional regulation and ...

Digital design of medical replicas via desktop systems: shape evaluation of colon parts [PDF]
In this paper, we aim at providing results concerning the application of desktop systems for rapid prototyping of medical replicas that involve complex shapes, as, for example, folds of a colon.

What's New? Patients with stage II colon cancer exhibit considerable variation in prognosis. Consequently, decisions regarding the necessity of adjuvant chemotherapy in this population often rely on imperfect high‐risk criteria. Here, the authors developed a novel RNA‐based risk score, using NanoString nCounter technology, to stratify recurrence risk ...
