Transl Gastroenterol Hepatol 2017;2:9 tgh.amegroups.com Post-colonoscopy colorecta l cancer or so-cal led “interval cancer” has emerged as one of new research topics, attracting much attention of endoscopists, gastroenterologists, and oncologists alike (1-4). In addition to lesions missed during the index colonoscopy due to technical issues (e.g., skills of endoscopists, quality of bowel preparation) or tumor morphology (e.g., sessile serrated adenoma/polyps) (5), some tumors arising after colonoscopy may have rapidly-growing biological behavior with distinct molecular and pathological features (1-4). Colonoscopy has remained the cornerstone of colorectal cancer screening which can provide primary prevention, early detection, and pathological diagnosis of neoplastic lesions, potentially leading to the reduction in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality (4,6). In the U.S., screening colonoscopy has been increasingly utilized since Medicare, a national social insurance program, initiated coverage of this procedure in 2001 (6). The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) statement in 2016 recommends screening of the colon and rectum for average-risk asymptomatic individuals aged 50–75 years, and refers to positive family history, male sex, and black race as risk factors for colorectal cancer (7). Follow-up colonoscopy after negative findings or polypectomy is scheduled according to the number, size, and/or pathological findings of polyps on the index colonoscopy (8). However, a fraction of people develop colorectal cancer between the index and subsequent surveillance procedures. In a meta-analysis of 12 observational studies, the pooled prevalence of interval cancer was 3.7% [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.8–4.9%] among all colorectal cancer cases (1). This analysis also suggests that interval cancer is more likely to be located in the proximal colon, and old age and positive family history of colorectal cancer are potential risk factors (1). Accumulating evidence indicates specific molecular and pathological features associated with post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer. Our previous study based on two U.S. prospective cohort studies has shown not only the effectiveness of colonoscopy on risk reduction of colorectal cancer incidence and mortality but also distinct molecular alterations in post-colonoscopy tumors (4). Among 1,815 incident colorectal cancer patients during the study period of more than 22 years for 88,902 participants, we examined tumor molecular features of 62 patients diagnosed within 5 years after the index colonoscopy. Compared with tumors diagnosed more than 5 years after colonoscopy or without any prior colonoscopy, post-colonoscopy tumors were more likely to show high-degree microsatellite instability [MSIhigh; odds ratio (OR), 2.10; 95% CI, 1.10–4.02], highdegree CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP-high; OR, Editorial

The Role of Angiogenesis in Colorectal Polyps and Cancer, a Review

ABSTRACT           Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most colorectal cancers begin as a growth of tissue called a polyp, some types of which can change into cancer over the course of several years. Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is known to play a key role in the initiation, growth and...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Despite the improved therapeutic and diagnostic strategies and screening programs, morbidity and mortality of CRC is still considerable. Currently, most common approaches for diagnosis of CRC are colonoscopy and fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Because of the invasive nature of colonoscopy and low sensitivity of FOBT, ...

Conditioned Medium from Cultured Colorectal Cancer Cells Affects Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Inflammatory Phenotype in Vitro

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Studies have indicated that immune cells and soluble factors play a key role in maintaining the balance between tumor-promoting inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. It has been shown that secreted cytokines from CRC cell lines could affect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, and macrophages phenot...

بررسی همبستگی پلی‌مورفیسم ژن MTHFR و سرطان کولورکتال غیر فامیلی

Background and Aim: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in worldwide. Because the gene 5, 10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a key role in methylation, synthesis and repair of DNA, numerous studies have focused on evaluating the correlation between polymorphisms of this gene and sporadic colorectal cancer. This study was carried out to examine the associa...

Dysregulated Expression of Long Non-Coding RNA MINCR and EZH2 in Colorectal Cancer

Background: As critical regulators, lncRNAs have attracted attention from researchers for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic purposes in human carcinogenesis via interfering with mRNAs such as EZH2. Nevertheless, the potent roles and molecular mechanisms of these RNAs in CRC are not clearly known. Methods: In this study, the tissue expressions of lncRNA MINCR and EZH2 mRNA between colorect...
