COLORECTAL CANCER Methylation patterns define two types of hyperplastic polyp associated with colorectal cancer
Aim: Hyperplastic polyps (HP) of the colorectum have traditionally been regarded as non-neoplastic lesions. Recent data implicate HP in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancers (CRC) characterised by extensive DNA methylation and microsatellite instability. The aim of this study was to identify morphological and molecular features that may characterise subtypes of HP with potential for neoplastic...

متن کاملColorectal cancer in hyperplastic polyposis syndrome: In search of the polyp of origin
Background Hyperplastic polyposis syndrome (HPS) is a colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition of unknown genetic aetiology that is characterised by the presence of multiple serrated polyps throughout the colon, and an increased risk of having a first-degree relative with CRC [1-3]. Though there is a trend for association between CRC and a higher number of polyps, patients with at least one colon...
متن کاملAberrant Gene Promoter Methylation Associated with Sporadic Multiple Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) multiplicity has been mainly related to polyposis and non-polyposis hereditary syndromes. In sporadic CRC, aberrant gene promoter methylation has been shown to play a key role in carcinogenesis, although little is known about its involvement in multiplicity. To assess the effect of methylation in tumor multiplicity in sporadic CRC, hypermethylation of key tumo...
متن کاملIntramucosal Colon Cancer Developing in an Inverted Hyperplastic Polyp
Inverted hyperplastic polyps (IHPs) of the colon are unusual variant of exophytic hyperplastic polyps that are characterized by epithelial displacement or inversion of the epithelium into the submucosa. To date, only a few cases of IHPs associated with adenoma or adenocarcinoma have been reported. However, due to the rarity of these polyps, their malignant potential is poorly understood. A 56-y...
