Discouraging colonic polyps.

Familial adenomatous polyposis, diagnosis and surveillance strategies: review article

Familial adenomatous polyposis is characterized by over 100 colorectal adenomas in the colorectum. The disease equally affects both sexes, with an incidence estimated at 1.14025-1.8300. The disease is premature in people with familial adenomatous polyposis. Patients suffering from familial adenomatous polyposis have a range of extra-intestinal diseases such as papillae, gastric, small intestine...

Evaluation of i-Scan Virtual Chromoendoscopy and Traditional Chromoendoscopy for the Automated Diagnosis of Colonic Polyps

Image enhancement technologies, such as chromoendoscopy and digital chromoendoscopy were reported to facilitate the detection and diagnosis of colonic polyps during endoscopic sessions. Here, we investigate the impact of enhanced imaging technologies on the classification accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis systems. Specifically, we determine if image representations obtained from different im...

Endoscopic resection of colonic polyps – A review

Endoscopic polypectomy has become standard care for the treatment of colonic polyps. While about 90% of polyps are small in size and easy to resect, a small percentage of polyps are of large size (>2 cm) and broad base and endoscopic resection is a real challenge for the endoscopist. An appropriate technique for safe removal of these large colorectal polyps has been developed and includes submu...

Surveillance patterns and polyp recurrence following diagnosis and excision of colorectal polyps in a medicare population.

OBJECTIVE Study objectives were to determine surveillance and polyp recurrence rates among older, increased-risk patients who have been diagnosed and excised of colorectal polyps. The high incidence of colorectal cancers in the Medicare-eligible population, the strong evidence linking reductions in mortality from colorectal cancer by removal of colorectal polyps, and the paucity of postpolypect...
