A pilot study on the endoscopic surveillance of colorectal dysplasia and cancer in long-standing ulcerative colitis.
INTRODUCTION Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) have a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) when compared to the general population. Epithelial dysplasia comes before this neoplasm, and thus endoscopic surveillance is recommended to these patients. This pilot study aims at establishing the incidence of dysplasia and CRC in patients with long-standing UC in our hospital. MATER...
متن کاملValue of mucin histochemistry in follow up surveillance of patients with long standing ulcerative colitis.
It has been suggested that diffuse changes in epithelial mucins may help to identify a subgroup of patients with ulcerative colitis who are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Colonoscopic biopsy specimens were taken from 11 colitic patients shortly before colectomies were performed, in which cancer was identified. These patients were matched to colitic patients without cancer fo...
متن کاملMultiple microcarcinoids in a patient with long standing ulcerative colitis.
A male patient with a 17 year history of intractable ulcerative colitis of the entire type was treated by total proctocolectomy. Colonoscopy before surgery did not identify dysplasia. Histological examination of the resected colorectum revealed that, in addition to chronic inflammatory infiltrates, there were 21 areas of microcarcinoids located in the muscularis propria and in the superficial l...
متن کاملEndoscopic Approach in Ulcerative Colitis
The term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is frequently used in the medical literature to define a set of diseases involving the digestive tract, particularly the small and the large intestine. The major IBDs are Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by diffuse mucosal inflammation limited to the colon. UC affects 50...
متن کاملDysplasia and carcinoma in longstanding ulcerative colitis: an endoscopic and histological surveillance programme.
From 1976 to 1989 a total of 66 patients with longstanding ulcerative colitis were entered in a colonoscopic surveillance programme in order to detect dysplasia. Thirty patients had extensive or total ulcerative colitis and 36 left sided colitis. The median duration of the disease at the end of the follow up was 15.0 years. Altogether 182 colonoscopies (2.8 per patient), each involving approxim...
