1 CT colography requires bowel preparation, exposes the patient to ionizing radiation, and cannot remove polyps. Colonoscopy may miss 6 to 12% of large (≥1 cm) polyps and 5% of cancers. Of note is that nonpolypoid (flat and depressed) colorectal neoplasms are found in about 9% of ...
Common Adenomas and Malignant Polyps An adenoma, defined as a benign intraepithelial neoplasm composed of epithelial cells exhibiting cytologic dysplasia, is considered the precursor lesion of most colorectal carcinomas.1,10-12 Dysplasia is characterized by decreased intraepithelial mucin, epithelial...
(i.e. all had large sessile polyps), including invasive cancers. The present results support current guidelines which recommend that patients who undergo piecemeal resection of large sessile adenomas should have an initial follow-up colonoscopy within 3-6 mo, followed by an additional colonoscopy 1...
The colonoscopy revealed three potential neoplastic lesions. The first one was a sessile polyp of 10 mm in diameter sited in the cecum, close to the ileocecal valve. It was removed with the diathermic loop, after infiltration of the mucosa with adrenaline. A further two polyps were found...
(P=0.000).The ratio of adenomatous polyps,in diameter 1 cm and cauliflower like polyps was relatively increased.Conclusion The indication of colonoscopy test to the elderly should be broader and the whole colon must be examined.The colonoscopy therapy for removing the polyps in aged people is ...
Synchronous polyps were detected in 67.2 % of patients undergoing complete colonoscopy during EMR. Presence of HGD/adenocarcinoma in the large polyp, localization of any synchronous polyp in the rectosigmoid colon and occurrence of multiple synchronous polyps were associated with presence of HGD/...
During the past few years, Dr. Binmoeller has been using a new method of doing colonoscopies and removing polyps that involves filling the colon with water instead of gas (air/CO2). It's called underwater colonoscopy and underwater EMR (UEMR). Underwater colonoscopy provides enhanced patient...

The age at onset of the attenuated polyposis (approximately 40 polyps) was 42 years and of the rectal cancer was 44 years. No extracolonic manifestations were observed in this patient. Family history was accessed through personal report. The patient stated that she had unaffected deceased parents...
