colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. through risk assessment of malignancy in polyps, screening programs can achieve the best results. this study aimed to determine the association between the grade of dysplasia and the location of colorectal polyps. 240 colorectal adenomatous polyps which were referred to department of pathology at rasoul-e-akram hospital be...

objectives: to investigate fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and insulin–like growth factor 1 in patients with or without colorectal polyps. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, we evaluated fasting glucose, insulin, insulin–like growth factor 1 (igf-1), lipid profile and glucose tolerance test in 103 patients undergoing colonoscopy (52 normal and 53 with a...

aim : the aim of the current investigation was to examine the profile of kras mutations accompanied with msi (microsattelite instability) status in polyps and colorectal carcinoma tissues in an iranian population. background : kras mutations in colorectal cancer cause resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr). so it can be considered as a true indicator of egfr pathway activati...

34 children aged 9 months to 12 years presenting with chronic and intermittent rectal bleeding were diagnosed as having colorectal polyps by fiberoptic colonoscopy performed under sedation. Bleeding per rectum (mean duration, 15 months) was the chief presenting symptom and was present in 97% of these patients. In 85% of patients polypectomy was carried out without using general anesthesia....

background: early diagnosis and endoscopic resection of adenomatous polyps is the main approach for screening and prevention of colorectal cancer (crc). we aimed to assess polyp detection rate (pdr) and to characterize demographic, clinical, and pathological features of colorectal polyps in an iranian population. methods: we retrospectively analyzed the data from 5427 colonoscopies performed du...

Background. Colorectal cancer mostly arises from the polyps of colon. The aim of our study was to examine the association of body mass index (BMI) and serum lipids with the colorectal polyps in old Chinese people. Methods. The risk of developing colorectal polyps was studied in 244 subjects (212 men and 32 women, 74.63 ± 11.63 years old) who underwent colonoscopy for the first time from January...

OBJECTIVES Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and smoking have similar mechanisms of promoting colorectal polyps. The potential link between NAFLD and smoking in men and colorectal polyps has not been adequately evaluated. The aim is to investigate this association. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 2409 individuals undergoing a health check. Univariate and...
