BACKGROUND Gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED) can be morphologically categorized into adenomatous and foveolar types. To date, there have been few studies on the clinical characteristics of GEDs according to the morphologic types. Therefore, we here aimed to elucidate the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with GED and the long-term follow-up results after endoscopic resection accord...

Metachronous recurrence incidences and risk factors following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric adenocarcinoma dysplasias were investigated. Retrospective review of electronic medical records patients who underwent ESD at Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital. A total 190 subjects enrolled analysis during the study period. The mean age was 64.4-year-old male sex occupied 73.7%. observati...

We present a patient with coeliac disease who developed refractory coeliac disease II, which was complicated by the development of metachronous lymphomas.

: There has been growing interest in oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) with a mounting body of evidence to suggest that it is distinct disease state, both biologically and prognostically, when compared polymetastatic cancer. Three subgroups have recognised; de novo synchronous, metachronous/oligorecurrent oligoprogressive disease. The belief patients OMPC can be treated more aggressively i...

Introduction: Bilateral silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a very rare pathology reported only in few papers in literature. Most of the described cases are simultaneous, and only one had a metachronous presentation. The evolutionary phases of the disease have yet to be well demonstrated and a complete radiological evaluation is needed to demonstrate the pathogenetic mechanisms that cause the ...

BACKGROUND The relation between Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer has been proven in epidemiological studies and animal experiments. Our aim was to investigate the prophylactic effect of H pylori eradication on the development of metachronous gastric carcinoma after endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer. METHODS In this multi-centre, open-label, randomised controlled tr...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective treatment for gastric superficial neoplasms and curative in 80-85% of the patients. The aims of this study were to identify risk factors for non-curative resection and metachronous development, and to evaluate patient management and outcome after non-curative resection. METHODS In this single-centre study, the outcome of cons...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world, arising mostly from pre-existing adenomatous polyps (adenomas) of the large bowel. Patients with colorectal adenomas are at increased risk of colorectal cancer because of a high recurrence rate for adenomas. We followed a cohort of 1490 patients with rectal adenomas to determine whether recurrence might be related to pat...
