Right-sided vs left-sided colorectal cancer.
AV In the analysis of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB)/SWOG 80405 trial that we presented at the 2016 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), we defined right-sided colon cancer as cancer of the cecum and the ascending colon up to the hepatic flexure. Left-sided colon cancer comprises cancer of the splenic flexure and cancer in regions distal to the splenic fl...
متن کاملFeasibility of immunochemical faecal occult blood testing for colorectal cancer screening in Bulgaria.
PURPOSE Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the second most common cancer in Europe. Screening guidelines recommend a range of screening options that include faecal occult blood tests (FOBTs). The efficacy of FOBT-based CRC screening is dependent on the participation rate, thus emphasizing the importance of the latter. This study aimed at analysing the feasibility of CRC screening with immunochemical...
متن کاملColonoscopy-controlled intra-individual comparisons to screen relevant neoplasia: faecal immunochemical test vs. guaiac-based faecal occult blood test.
BACKGROUND Guaiac-based faecal occult blood tests (g-FOBTs) are most commonly used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes. Faecal immunochemical tests (FITs) are thought to be superior. AIM To compare performance of a g-FOBT and a quantitative FIT for detection of CRCs and advanced adenomas in a colonoscopy-controlled population. METHODS We assessed sensitivity and specificity of b...
متن کاملQuantitation of faecal Fusobacterium improves faecal immunochemical test in detecting advanced colorectal neoplasia
OBJECTIVE There is a need for an improved biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenoma. We evaluated faecal microbial markers for clinical use in detecting CRC and advanced adenoma. DESIGN We measured relative abundance of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Peptostreptococcus anaerobius (Pa) and Parvimonas micra (Pm) by quantitative PCR in 309 subjects, including 104 patients with CR...
متن کاملColorectal cancer screening: yield of faecal occult blood testing.
The incidence of colorectal cancer is rising and increasing public awareness of this condition has stimulated interest in screening tests. Colorectal cancer is treatable and curable in its early stages and clear benefits are present if the cancer can be detected in its early stages. Sensitivity of the faecal occult blood test (FOBT) by immunochemical techniques for colorectal (CRC) cancer scree...
