BACKGROUND Research on the association between fruit and vegetable intake and risk of colorectal adenoma is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE We studied whether intake of fruit, vegetables, or their subgroups is associated with a lower risk of prevalent colorectal adenoma. DESIGN In men and women (aged 55-74 y) who were screened for colorectal cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Can...

PURPOSE To analyze postoperative outcomes of prostate surgery, resected specimen weight is commonly used. The difference between the preoperative calculated transitional zone volume and actual enucleated specimen weight following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is reported at over 20%. The reason for this difference is unclear. We assessed the association of volume of the pros...

thirty one patients with biologic and clinical diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism were submitted to thalium-technetium scan prior to exploration of the neck. scan findings were compared with the pathologic results. surgical exploration of the neck showed a parathyroid adenoma in 24 patients, parathyroid carcinoma in one patient, normal parathyroid in another patient and parathyroid hyperplasia in...

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the association between colorectal neoplasia and sporadic duodenal adenoma. Methods: A retrospective case control study was conducted using the databases of two major teaching hospitals in Western Australia. The frequency of colorectal neoplasia in patients with sporadic duodenal adenomas was compared with that in a control group of patients ...

microRNAs (miRNA) are promising predictors in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated whether miRNAs could predict adenoma recurrence in patients with advanced colorectal adenoma (ACRA) after polypectomy. miRNA expression profiling was performed by miRNA microarray to identify recurrence-related miRNAs. Candidate miRNAs extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of patients with AC...

Colorectal cancer incidence after adenoma removal has been studied in selected populations of adenoma patients. Our study estimates the trend in colorectal cancer incidence after adenoma removal in actual clinical practice. From PALGA, a nationwide network and registry of histo- and cytopathology in the Netherlands, we extracted data of all patients diagnosed with colorectal adenomas between 1 ...

A case-control study of colon adenoma in relation to dietary habits was undertaken in Saitama, Japan. The population included 105 patients with newly diagnosed colon adenoma, 843 general population controls, and 84 hospital controls who had no pathologic lesions at colonoscopy. The adenoma patients and the hospital controls underwent total colonoscopy between November 1992 and March 1994. Infor...

Objective: To evaluate epidermal growth factor receptor and Ki-67 immunohistochemical expression in colorectal adenoma carcinoma cases, to relate their with the available clinicopathological data.Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at Faculty of Medicine, Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt, from September 2019 October 2020, comprised formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens related cas...
