Prevalence of pre-cancerous masses in the colon same in patients in their 40s and 50s
The prevalence of pre-cancerous masses in the colon is the same for average-risk patients who are 40 to 49 years of age and those who are 50 to 59 years of age. view more (2008-06-11)
New techniques ease colon cancer procedures for patients
Developing superior screening options is paramount in the treatment of colon cancer, as it has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers when detected early. view more (2006-05-24)
Genetic Link Uncovered in Disparate Colon Cancer Death
A new study reveals the first-ever genetic link to the reason African-Americans are at increased risk of dying from colon cancer. view more (2009-04-01)
Disease of older adults now seen in young, obese adults
Acute diverticulitis, a disease traditionally seen in patients older than 50 years old, is now being seen in younger adults who are obese. view more (2006-09-25)
A gene for metastasis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the Western world. The tumor starts off as a polyp but then turns into an invasive and violent cancer, which often spreads to the liver. view more (2007-08-28)
Suppressing cancer with a master control gene
Starting with the tiny fruit fly and then moving into mice and humans, researchers at VIB and K. U. Leuven show that expression of the same gene suppresses cancer in all three organisms. view more (2009-02-23)
Endoscopic resection is a safe and effective treatment for gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors
Gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors (SMTs, including leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma) represent relatively common lesions that are thought to originate from a muscular layer of the gastrointestinal tract. view more (2007-10-11)
Timing of radiation treatments for colon cancer may need adjusting, Jefferson researchers say
Scientists have unexpectedly discovered that mice with the gene defect that causes colon cancer in humans can differ from normal mice in how they respond to radiation treatments. view more (2006-04-10)
Gene dose affects tumor growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and Ohio State University have found that the number of copies of a particular gene can affect the severity of colon cancer in a mouse model. view more (2008-01-04)
Minority patients prefer optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening
The clinical importance of colorectal cancer screening is well established, however the majority of eligible people do not undergo screening tests. view more (2007-11-02)
UCLA/VA study: Many patients not receiving follow-up tests after positive screening for colon cancer
A UCLA/Veteran's Affairs study showed that more than 40 percent of patients who initially had received a positive result on a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) — an initial screening tool for colon cancer — did not receive appropriate diagnostic follow-up tests such as a colonoscopy or barium enema in 2002. view more (2006-05-31)
A spicy solution for colon cancer?
In the last few years, that tactic has proved productive for researchers investigating turmeric, a curry spice used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine. view more (2006-09-20)
Largest study to date reveals baseline findings for flexible sigmoidoscopy
The largest study to date on the early detection of colorectal cancer offers benchmark data for what could be expected from large-scale use of flexible sigmoidoscopy as a screening tool for colorectal cancer. view more (2005-07-06)
Long-term aspirin use reduces risk for colorectal cancer
A new report from the Nurse's Health Study finds that regular, long-term aspirin use can significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, as suggested by several earlier studies. view more (2005-08-24)
USC researchers show that molecular markers predict tumor recurrence
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified specific molecular markers that may help to predict tumor recurrence in stage II and III colon cancer patients. view more (2007-06-06)
New ultrasound-guided biopsy method allows improved diagnosis of endometrial disease
A procedure used in conjunction with a vaginal ultrasound might make it easier to visualize and diagnose diseases in the lining of the uterus, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-04-14)
Surgeons perform first robot-assisted procedures in weight loss, colon and gastric fields
UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeons are the first in North Texas to perform robotically assisted laparoscopic gastric-bypass and colon-resections surgeries. view more (2006-11-29)
Molecular profiling can accurately predict survival in colon cancer patients
Researchers in The Netherlands have developed a method of accurately predicting which patients with colon cancer are most likely to have their disease recur after surgery and who would, therefore, be likely to benefit from additional chemotherapy. view more (2007-09-26)
Water method for unsedated colonoscopy; interval between prep and colonoscopy predicts prep quality
In recognition of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month during March, GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has put out a special issue on colonoscopy for colorectal neoplasia. Studies of note regarding colonoscopy appear in both the monthly March issue and the special issue. view more (2009-03-02)
What are the risk factors of sporadic colorectal cancer?
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in China. view more (2009-06-12)
