Evaluation of the accuracy of serum MMP-9 as a test for colorectal cancer in a primary care population [PDF]

, 2006
Background Bowel cancer is common and is a major cause of death. Meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials estimates that screening for colorectal cancer using faecal occult blood (FOB) test reduces mortality from colorectal cancer by 16%.

Head‐to‐head comparison of the diagnostic value of fecal and serum carcinoembryonic antigen for colorectal cancer detection

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 516-525, 15 July 2026.
What's new? The diagnostic value of fecal versus serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for colorectal cancer detection remains unclear. This study provides a head‐to‐head comparison of serum and fecal CEA using matched samples from two large colorectal cancer screening studies and two fecal sample processing methods.

Effect of hysterectomy status on polyp detection rates at screening flexible sigmoidoscopy [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: Flexible sigmoidoscopy with polypectomy reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer by removal of premalignant lesions. Factors that reduce the area examined by flexible sigmoidoscopy may reduce its benefit.

Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Rubinstein‐Taybi Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 7, Page 1491-1497, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome is a rare genetic condition associated with a wide range of physical, cognitive, and developmental impairments, yet its gastrointestinal manifestations remain poorly characterized. Case reports and small series suggest a high prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, dysphagia, and nutritional compromise ...

The Value of Sigmoidoscopy to Detect Colonic Ischaemia After Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair [PDF]

, 2019
Objectives: Diagnosing colonic ischaemia (CI) after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) repair is challenging. This study determined the diagnostic value of sigmoidoscopy in patients suspected of CI after RAAA repair.

Watch and Wait Strategy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Update From Results of Recent Clinical Trials

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. Currently, despite growing recognition of personalized medicine, systematic risk stratification and full incorporation of patient preferences for anal preservation and treatment tolerance remain challenging in some clinical settings.

Cost-effectiveness of screening for colorectal cancer with once-only flexible sigmoidoscopy and faecal occult blood test [PDF]

On the basis of a randomized controlled trial we estimate the cost per life-year gained for six different strategies for colorectal cancer screening. Individuals in the age group 50 to 64 years were randomly selected for either flexible sigmoidoscopy or ...

Mesalazine‐Induced Myocarditis: A Challenging Diagnostic Journey

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Cardiac MRI imaging showing patterns consistent with acute myocarditis. ABSTRACT Mesalazine‐induced myocarditis, though rare, should be suspected in patients presenting with acute chest pain and elevated cardiac biomarkers shortly after treatment initiation. Cardiac MRI plays a pivotal role in diagnosis. Prompt drug discontinuation often leads to rapid

Flexible sigmoidoscopy screening in an industrial setting. [PDF]

, 1992
Little is known about the yield of colorectal cancer screening programs in an industrial setting. We therefore established a flexible sigmoidoscopy screening program at a chemical manufacturing plant and offered testing to all employees over the age of ...

Role of Social Support in Screening Colonoscopy/Sigmoidoscopy Uptake among U.S. Adults [PDF]

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major clinical and public health burden. Screening has been shown to be effective in preventing CRC. In 2021, less than 72% of adult Americans had received CRC screening based on the most recent guidelines.
