A type of noninvasive "virtual colonoscopy" can diagnose medium to large polyps as well as traditional colorectal probes can, but it may miss some smaller yet potentially cancerous growths, according to a new review of studies.text editorEmerging Infectious Diseases...
11.The test was slightly less apt at finding precancerous polyps - it found 14 of the 18 cases that were discoered by colonoscopy.检测中较少发现癌前病变-通过结肠镜检发现18例患者中有14例。 12.(Twenty-two cases have now been recorded in U. S. hormone recipients, and new ones are still...
Colonoscopy has the significant advantage that polyps can be removed during the same procedure. Occasionally, colonoscopy can also reveal unexpected findings, including parasitic infections, even in asymptomatic patients. Tapeworms or cestodes are hermaphroditic parasites, which can live for considerable ...
Screening colonoscopy can detect advanced colorectal neoplasm in asymptomatic adults. The more screening colonoscopy was preformed the earlier the neoplasm was discovered and with better prognosis. Twenty per cent of the patients with distal neoplasms found on sigmoidoscopy had proximal lesions when ...
Among those 11,808 screening colonoscopies performed, advance neoplasm (adenocarcinoma) was detected in 272 (2.3%) patients; age 50 to 90, with mean age of 64-years-old. Fourteen per cent had hyperplastic polyps, 15 per cent had tubular adenoma, and 8.6 per cent villous adenoma. Adenoma ...
In case of a positive fecal occult blood test, examination of the whole colon by colonoscopy should be performed colorectal cancer risk is significantly lowered by endoscopic polypectomy in patients with adenomas. After complete removal of adenomatous polyps a control colonoscopy is advised three years...
We aimed to identify specific endoscopic features of SSA with conventional colonoscopy. Methods Patients undergoing screening colonoscopies from January 2011 to September 2012, in whom colonic polyps were found, were prospectively included in our study. Polyp morphology, location, polyp pit pattern (Kudo...

Videocapsule findings in most cases include angectasias, arteriovenous malformations, small bowel Crohn's disease, NSAID-associated enteropathy, polyps, neoplasms, and celiac disease, but also rarer etiologies, as described in the following.doi:10.1007/978-88-470-5205-5_22Enrico Ricci...
