Predictive factors of neoplastic gallbladder polyps: Outcomes of 278 patients.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Distinguishing between neoplastic and nonneoplastic gallbladder polyps (GBPs) in the preoperative workup is of great importance for appropriate treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the characteristics of GBPs and to determine potential predictive factors of neoplastic polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of 278 patients who were confirmed to have GBPs through la...
متن کاملHigh-resolution microendoscopy in differentiating neoplastic from non-neoplastic colorectal polyps.
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The progression from adenoma to cancer is a well known phenomenon. Current clinical practice favors colonoscopy as the preferred modality for colorectal cancer screening. Many novel endoscopic technologies are emerging for the purposes of performing "optical biopsy" to allow real-time histologic diagnosis of polyps. High resolut...
متن کاملT1220 Endomicroscopic Video Retrieval Approach to Support Diagnostic Differentiation Between Neoplastic and Non-Neoplastic Colonic Polyps
G A A b st ra ct s accurate histopathology. Our aim was to explore whether CLE can be used for detection and characterization of ACF. In a prospective pilot-study, chromoendoscopy-guided CLE was performed to detect and characterize ACF in a group of patients at high-risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) and in a control group. Methods: Thirty-three patients who underwent CLE using the Pentax EC3870C...
متن کاملNarrow band imaging to differentiate neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal polyps in real time: a meta-analysis of diagnostic operating characteristics
PURPOSE Many studies have reported on the use of narrow band imaging (NBI) colonoscopy to differentiate neoplastic from non-neoplastic colorectal polyps. It has potential to replace pathological diagnosis of diminutive polyps. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the real-time diagnostic operating characteristics of NBI colonoscopy. METHODS We searched PubMed, SCOPUS a...
