Study on Small Colorectal Polyps and Early Cancers

Abstract: We investigated the histopathological features of polyps with a diameter of less than 5 mm that had been resected by a snare or hot-biopsy (1, 357 lesions in 712 patients), and considered the problems associated with these techniques. 67.7% of the polyps were adenomas, 15.5% were metaplastic polyps, 0.6% were colon cancers, and 0.1% were carcinoids. Eighty percent of the polyps situated on the oral side of the descending colon were adenomas. Although adenomas occurred somewhat more frequently in the sigmoid colon, they tended to be distributed evenly throughout the entire colon. The reddened color of the surface of the polyps tended to accompany adenomas, while a whitish surface color was frequently associated with metaplastic polyps. Multiple polyps occurred in 57% of the patients and 33.7% of the patients had a large polyp with a diameter of more than 6 mm. In six out of eight cases of cancer the cancers were limited to the mucosa (m), the other 2 were submucosal invaded carcinomas. One of these cases was a depressd type of cancer and the other lesions were classified as being elevated type polyps. The elevated type of diminutive early colorectal carcinoma with a diameter of less than 5 mm was difficult to distinguish endoscopically from benign polyps, so we recommended that small colonic polyps should be removed when encountered during a colonoscopy.     

Avoiding Surgery in Patients With Colorectal Polyps

PURPOSE: Colonic polyps are sometimes difficult to remove endoscopically and are referred for surgical resection. This study was performed to determine how many polyps referred for surgery could actually be managed endoscopically. METHODS: An endoscopic database with data entered prospectively and consecutively was used to identify patients referred for surgery for a colonic polyp. Rectal polyps were excluded. All patients underwent colonoscopy before surgery to see if the polyp could be managed endoscopically. Cases were reviewed to see the method and outcome of treatment. RESULTS: The study population consists of 58 patients referred for surgical resection of a colorectal polyp. Endoscopic polypectomy was initially successful in 48. Five of the 48 needed surgery later for a final success rate of 43/58 avoiding surgery. There were no deaths, four complications of endoscopic polypectomy (three bleeds, one post-polypectomy syndrome) and two patients had complications of surgery (one splenic injury, one ventral hernia). Polyps ranged in size from 1.5 cm to 8.0 cm. Seven polyps contained invasive cancer (three needing surgical resection), eight contained intramucosal cancer (one operated) and 11 had severe dysplasia (three operated). Rate of persistent polyp was 16/37 at first follow up, 7/23 at second, 1/14 at third and 0/8 at fourth. CONCLUSION: Most polyps referred for surgical resection were successfully managed endoscopically. Patients with colonic polyps that are difficult or potentially dangerous to remove endoscopically should be sent for a second opinion before surgery is performed.

Colorectal cancer after surveillance colonoscopy

PURPOSE: Colonoscopy is the preferred method for colorectal cancer surveillance of high-risk patients. Despite its high sensitivity, polyps or cancers may be undetected by colonoscopy and later attributed to an accelerated adenoma-carcinoma sequence. This study assesses how the characteristics of colorectal cancers found at intervals between surveillance relate to the adenoma-carcinoma sequence and its prevention. METHODS: The records of 557 patients with colorectal cancer that were diagnosed from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 1996, were reviewed to identify those patients who had prior colonoscopic surveillance within 60 months of their diagnosis. RESULTS: There were 29 (5.2 percent) patients who had one or more colonoscopies before diagnosis of their colorectal cancer. Mean interval between diagnosis and prior colonoscopy was 23 (range, 4–59) months. The distribution of cancers included nine cecum, two ascending, three hepatic flexure, five transverse, one splenic flexure, three descending, two sigmoid, three rectum, and one anal canal. The mean tumor size was 4.4 cm for the cecum and 2.4 cm for all other locations. There were 7 Tis, 6 T1, 4 T2, and 12 T3 lesions. Six patients with T3 lesions had prior colonoscopies within 24 months of the diagnosis. Three of four patients with lymphatic metastases had tumors in the cecum. Twenty tumors (69 percent) were well or moderately differentiated. Mean follow-up was 41 (range, 7–95) months with two local recurrences and two unrelated deaths. CONCLUSIONS: Size, differentiation, and stage of colorectal cancer in addition to the interval to diagnosis suggest that the majority of cancers found during surveillance colonoscopy followed prior false-negative examinations. Because cecal landmarks are most constant, prior photographic documentation may help to prove or disprove fast growth of cancers found in the cecum during surveillance colonoscopy.Read at the meeting of The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, San Antonio, Texas, May 2 to 7, 1998.     

How to avoid overtreatment of benign colorectal lesions: Rationale for an evidence-based management

Implementing population-based screening programs for colorectal cancer has led to an increase in the detection of large but benign histological lesions. Currently, endoscopic mucosal resection can be considered the standard technique for the removal of benign lesions of the colon due to its excellent safety profile and good clinical results. However, several studies from different geographic areas agree that many benign colon lesions are still referred for surgery. Moreover, the referral rate to surgery is not decreasing over the years, despite the theoretical improvement of endoscopic resection techniques. This article will review the leading causes for benign colorectal lesions to be referred for surgery and the influence of the endoscopist experience on the referral rate. It will also describe how to categorize a polyp as complex for resection and consider an endoscopist as an expert in endoscopic resection. And finally, we will propose a framework for the accurate and evidence-based treatment of complex benign colorectal lesions.     

Prevalence of Colorectal Neoplasms in Asian Americans

Purpose To determine the yield of colonoscopy in a predominantly Asian American gastroenterology practice in California from 8/2003 to 2/2005. Results A total 2,723 subjects were included: 87% were Asian and 13% were non-Asian. Advanced neoplasia prevalence was 12% in Asian men and 9% in non-Asian men (P = 0.21), and 8% and 7% in women (P = 0.62). Similar results were found in asymptomatic patients (13% and 13%, P = 0.99, for men; 8% and 6%, P = 0.46, for women). Factors associated with presence of advanced neoplasia were total number of polyps and presence of right-sided lesions. Asian men were more likely to have neoplasia overall compared with non-Asian men with odds ratio (OR) of 2.14 (1.23–3.72); however, there were no significant differences in the prevalences of advanced neoplasia in the two groups. Conclusions Colorectal neoplasia is as prevalent in Asian Americans and preventive guidelines for colorectal cancer should also be advocated for this ethnic group.     

Endoscopic excision of a prolapsing malignant polyp which caused intermittent gastric outlet obstruction

A 69-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with iron deficiency anemia and post-prandial abdominal fullness. Endoscopy showed a large polyp on a stalk, protruding through the pylorus into the duodenum causing intermittent gastric outlet obstruction. While prolapsing gastric antral polyps are usually benign and hyperplastic, inflammatory or regenerative in type, excisional snare polypectomy here led to complete resolution of his symptoms, but showed a malignant polyp.     

肠息肉内镜治疗术后并发症回顾性分析

目的 回顾性分析内镜下肠息肉手术后并发症发生的相关因素.方法 经上海市第一人民医院分院诊断的肠息肉住院患者496例,分析其临床表现、息肉形态、手术方式、创伤面积以及术后并发症的情况.结果 男性患者302例,女性194例,起病时临床表现为无症状（35.5％）、腹痛（12.5％）、腹泻（5.6％）、血便（12.5％）,其他症状有便秘、大便性状改变等（37.5％）.所有患者中有并发症者36例（7.3％）,包括腹痛（0.6％）、腹泻（1.4％）、便血（5.2％）及发热（1.4％）.分析发现有并发症和无并发症组患者在年龄、性别上差异无统计学意义,但并发症组息肉较大,且多呈宽基底带蒂者（P＜0.01）,手术累计创伤面积也较大（P＜0.01）,EMR和ESD并发症发生率均较单纯咬除或氩气刀灼除术以及单纯高频电切除术高（P＜0.01）.结论 肠息肉术后并发症的发生与息肉大小、形态、手术方式以及创伤面积有关,对于较大、宽基底且带蒂的息肉以及手术创面较大的息肉,术后并发症发生率较高.因此,对患者一般情况的了解、选择合适的手术方式以及操作个体化可以有效降低并发症的发生率.

Hyperplastic Polyposis and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer

PURPOSE Hyperplastic polyps are usually considered to be an innocent finding with little or no potential to progress to colorectal cancer. However, recent literature suggests that some of these polyps may be morphologically and genetically distinct and lead to microsatellite unstable colorectal cancers. The purpose of this study was to define the cancer risk associated with hyperplastic polyposis.METHODS All patients with hyperplastic polyposis diagnosed by a single colorectal surgeon at a university hospital were followed prospectively. The diagnosis of hyperplastic polyposis was made by the presence of more than 20 hyperplastic polyps distributed throughout the colon and/or a hyperplastic polyp at least 1 cm in size in diameter in the right colon. Patient demographics, family history, size, location, and distribution of polyps and the development of colorectal cancer were noted.RESULTS Thirteen patients who met the criteria for hyperplastic polyposis were identified and followed prospectively. All of these patients had at least 30 polyps distributed throughout the colon, often > 100. Nine of 13 also had a hyperplastic polyp at least 1 cm in size, usually in the right colon. Of particular note, 7 of 13 patients (54 percent) were diagnosed with colorectal cancer during the study period. Four had cancer on initial diagnosis and three patients developed cancer despite frequent colonoscopic surveillance. Five of seven colorectal cancers were located in the right colon.CONCLUSIONS Patients with hyperplastic polyposis are at high risk for colorectal cancer. Failure to identify this subset of patients could have dire consequences.Read at the meeting of The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, Dallas, Texas, May 8 to 13, 2004.Reprints are not available.     

Endoscopic management of colorectal polyps: From benign to malignant polyps

Colorectal cancer(CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer related death in the world. The early detection and removal of CRC precursor lesions has been shown to reduce the incidence of CRC and cancer-related mortality. Endoscopic resection has become the first-line treatment for the removal of most precursor benign colorectal lesions and selected malignant polyps. Detailed lesion assessment is the first critical step in the evaluation and management of colorectal polyps. Polyp size, location and both macro-and micro-features provide important information regarding histological grade and endoscopic resectability. Benign polyps and even malignant polyps with superficial submucosal invasion and favorable histological features can be adequately removed endoscopically. When compared to surgery, endoscopic resection is associated with lower morbidity, mortality, and higher patient quality of life. Conversely, malignant polyps with deep submucosal invasion and/or high risk for lymph node metastasis will require surgery. From a practical standpoint,the most appropriate strategy for each patient will need to be individualized,based not only on polyp-and patient-related characteristics, but also on local resources and expertise availability. In this review, we provide a broad overview and present a potential decision tree algorithm for the evaluation and management of colorectal polyps that can be widely adopted into clinical practice.     

Endoscopic treatment of colorectal benign-appearing lesions 3 cm or larger

PURPOSE: Colonoscopic polypectomy is the preferred technique to remove the majority of polyps. The authors evaluate feasibility, safety, and the effectiveness of endoscopic treatment of colorectal benign-appearing polyps equal to or larger than 3 cm. METHODS: Ninety-seven patients with 104 giant polyps underwent polypectomy within a nine-year period. The majority of these procedures were performed on an outpatient basis, all on unsedated patients. Gross appearance, size, location, histologic characteristics, synchronous lesions, modality, and adequacy of removal of giant polyps were analyzed. The follow-up was achieved in 89 percent of patients during a period ranging from 6 to 96 months (median, 38). RESULTS: Of the 104 removed polyps, 75 (72 percent) were adenomatous, 2 (2 percent) were hyperplastic, and 27 (26 percent) were malignant polyps. Six patients had more than one giant polyp. Several additional smaller polyps were found in 52 patients and a synchronous cancer in 4. Twenty-one (20 percent) giant polyps were equal to or larger than 4 cm. Forty-nine were pedunculated, 20 were short-stalked, and 35 were sessile. Sixty-one polyps were excised in one piece, and forty-three were excised using a piecemeal technique. Only four complications (3.8 percent) were recorded; all cases were treated endoscopically. Fifty-eight (75 percent) adenomas and eighteen (67 percent) malignant polyps were completely excised. Surgery was performed in 7 of 27 patients (27 percent) with malignant polyps, where there was a doubtful, infiltrated margin or poorly differentiated cancer. Post-polypectomy surveillance permitted the detection and treatment of 25 metachronous or recurrent polyps and a metachronous cancer. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that polypectomy of giant colorectal polyps, performed by an expert endoscopist, is feasible, effective, and safe, even on an outpatient basis. The authors confirm that malignant polyps with incomplete excision, lymphovascular invasion, and poor differentiation require bowel resection. Post-polypectomy surveillance is useful for all patients who have undergone colonoscopic resection of giant adenomatous or malignant polyps.Supported by the University of Parma, Parma, Italy.     

Chemoprevention of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is a major public health concern in all developed countries. Despite decades of advances in the treatment and prevention of colorectal cancer, it remains the second most common cause of cancer death. However, the optimal method for early detection remains unknown and patient compliance with screening recommendations remains poor. This has led to the development of complementary strategies, such as chemoprevention to reduce morbidity and mortality from colorectal cancer. Chemoprevention is defined as the use of specific pharmacologic or nutrient agents to prevent, reverse, or inhibit the process of carcinogenesis. This review was designed to discuss the most promising agents in colorectal chemoprevention. Supported by grants from the NIH K07 CA092445, The Cancer Research Prevention Foundation, and The Eleanor Naylor Dana Charitable Trust. Presented at the Colorectal Disease Symposium, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, February 12 to 14, 2005.     

Is Endoscopic Polypectomy an Adequate Therapy for Malignant Colorectal Adenomas? Presentation of 114 Patients and Review of the Literature

PURPOSE This study was designed to evaluate the outcome of endoscopic polypectomy of malignant polyps with and without subsequent surgery based on histologic criteria.METHODS Consecutive patients with invasive carcinoma in colorectal polyps endoscopically removed between 1985 and 1996 were retrospectively studied. Patients with complete resection, grading G1 or G2, and absence of vascular invasion were classified as low risk. The other patients were classified high risk. Available literature was reviewed by applying similar classification criteria.RESULTS A total of 114 patients (59 males; median age, 70 (range, 20–92) years) were included. Median polyp size was 2.5 (0.4–10) cm. After polypectomy, of 54 patients with low-risk malignant polyps, 13 died of unrelated causes after a median of 76 months, 5 had no residual tumor at surgery, and 33 were alive and well during a median follow-up of 69 (range, 9–169) months. Of 60 patients with high-risk malignant polyps, 52 had surgery (residual carcinoma 27 percent). Five of eight patients not operated had an uneventful follow-up of median 57 (range, 47-129) months. Patients in the high-risk group were significantly more likely to have an adverse outcome than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.0001). Review of 20 studies including 1,220 patients with malignant polyps revealed no patient with low-risk criteria with an adverse outcome.CONCLUSIONS For patients with low-risk malignant polyps, endoscopic polypectomy alone seems to be adequate. In high-risk patients, the risk of adverse outcome should be weighed against the risk of surgery.     

Endoscopic polypectomy： A promising therapeutic choice for esophageal carcinosarcoma

Esophageal carcinosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor composing of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. Endoscopic therapy is less invasive and may represent an alternative to esophagectomy for superficial esophageal carcinosarcoma. Here, we report a 61-year-old male who was diagnosed as esophageal carcinosarcoma and underwent endoscopic polypectomy with well tolerance and favorable prognosis. We also present a brief review of the literature.     

Colorectal cancer in geriatric patients： Endoscopic diagnosis and surgical treatment

AIM: To investigate the prevalence of colorectal cancer in geriatrie patients undergoing endoscopy and to analyze their outcome. METHODS: All consecutive patients older than 80 years who underwent lower gastrointestinal endoscopy between January 1995 and December 2002 at our institution were included. patients with endoscopic diagnosis of colorectal cancer were evaluated with respect to indication, localization and stage of cancer, therapeutic consequences, and survival. RESULTS: Colorectal cancer was diagnosed in 88 patients (6% of all endoscopies, 55 women and 33 men, mean age 85.2 years). Frequent indications were lower gastrointestinal bleeding (25%), anemia (24%) or sonographic suspicion of tumor (10%). Localization of cancer was predominantly the sigmoid colon (27%), the rectum (26%), and the ascending colon (20%). Stage Dukes A was rare (1%), but Dukes D was diagnosed in 22% of cases. Curative surgery was performed in 54 patients (61.4%), in the remaining 34 patients (38.6%) surgical treatment was not feasible due to malnutrition and asthenia or cardiopulmonary comorbidity (15 patients), distant metastases (11 patients) or refusal of operation (8 patients). patients undergoing surgery had a very low in-hospital mortality rate (2%). Operated patients had a one-year and three-year survival rate of 88% and 49%, and the survival rates for non-operated patients amounted to 46% and 13% respectively. CONCLUSION: Nearly two-thirds of 88 geriatrie patiente with endoscopic diagnosis of colorectal cancer underwent successful surgery at a very low perioperative mortality rate, resulting in significantly higher survival rates. Hence, the clinical relevance of lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and oncologic surgery in geriatrie patients is demonstrated.     

Endoscopic resection techniques for colorectal neoplasia:Current developments

Endoscopic polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) are the established treatment standards for colorectal polyps. Current research aims at the reduction of both complication and recurrence rates as well as on shortening procedure times. Cold snare resection is the emerging standard for the treatment of smaller(< 5 mm) polyps and is possibly also suitable for the removal of noncancerous polyps up to 9 mm. The method avoids thermal damage, has reduced procedure times and probably also a lower risk for delayed bleeding. On the other end of the treatment spectrum, endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)offers en bloc resection of larger flat or sessile lesions. The technique has obvious advantages in the treatment of high-grade dysplasia and early cancer. Due to its minimal recurrence rate, it may also be an alternative to fractionated EMR of larger flat or sessile lesions. However, ESD is technically demanding and burdened by longer procedure times and higher costs. It should therefore be restricted to lesions suspicious for high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer.The latest addition to endoscopic resection techniques is endoscopic fullthickness resection with specifically developed devices for flexible endoscopy.This method is very useful for the treatment of smaller difficult-to-resect lesions,e.g., recurrence with scar formation after previous endoscopic resections.     

Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection in special locations

Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) is considered one of the most challenging endoscopic procedures for novice endoscopists. When compared with the stomach, the colon and rectum have a narrower tubular lumen, greater angulation at the flexures, and a thinner muscle layer. These factors make endoscopic control and maneuverability difficult. ESD of the colorectum was considered more difficult than gastric and esophageal ESD. However, with learning from the experts, practicing, and selecting an appropriate technique,most of colorectal ESD could be performed successfully. Nevertheless, some colorectal locations are extremely specialized either from unique anatomy or given unstable scope position. Accordingly, the objective of this review was to provide endoscopists with an overview of the techniques and outcomes associated with ESD at these special colorectal locations. ESD at the discussed special locations of the ileo-colo-rectum was found to be feasible, and outcomes were comparable to those of ESD performed in non-special locations of the ileocolo-rectum. Practice for skill improvement and awareness of the unique characteristics of each special location is the key to performing successful ESD.
