RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This purpose aims to investigate the usefulness of CD133, a stem cell marker, for the prognosis of colon polyps. This study aimed to assess the adenomatous polyps that have an essential role in the development of colorectal cancer. The risk of colorectal carcinogenesis can be reduced by polypectomy and close medical supervision of the patients with adenomatous polyps. The prominence of stem cells in carcinoma development is also a recognized verdict. It must be noted that stem cell evaluation in adenomatous polyps may provide information about carcinoma development. METHOD: Previously pathologically assessed colorectal polyps in 60 males and 40 females at Azerbaijan Medical University were reevaluated at the Pathology Department under the Meram Medical Faculty. Hematoxylin-eosin stained preparations were examined, and cases with and without dysplasia were determined. The image analysis program re-examined the preparations, and the same image analysis system automatically counted CD133 positive stained cells in the unit area. At the end of the follow-up period after polypectomy, the cases of malignancy were detected. RESULTS: The relationship between CD133 expression of dysplasia and malignancy was statistically compared. During the investigation, the statistically significant relationship between CD133 expression and dysplasia, as well as malignancy development, was observed in this study. CONCLUSION: During the examination, the statistical significance of CD133 expression was detected in cases with dysplasia and malignancy. The investigation of CD133 expression in colorectal polyps is crucial in determining the presence of dysplasia and malignancy development, particularly in obtaining prognostic data in colorectal polyps.

RESUMO

AIM: to determin the recurrence rate of benign recto-colonic polyps in a 5-year interval, and compare the development rate of intrapolypoid carcinomatous lesions in polypectomized versus nonpolypectomized subjects. MATERIAL AND METHOD: a group of 77 patients diagnosed with recto-colonic polypoid lesions during the period 2014-2019 underwent colonoscopy at the time of study initiation and then annually during a five-year interval. Results: The recurrence rate of polyps increased annually from 5 to 12.5%; the highest rate was noted in the last two years. The five-year cumulative risk of neoplastic lesions was 73% in patients without polypectomy and 20% among those with endoscopic resection (p 0.05). Comparing the recurrence rate of benign lesions (60%) in patients without neoplastic findings with the recurrence rate of adenomas in patients with benign lesions (40%), a higher risk of recurrence was found in the first category, and seemed to be influenced by the personal history of pre-existing adenomatous lesions. CONCLUSION: an increased risk of colorectal polyps recurrence was reported during five year follow up; moreover, during the first three years an increased risk of malignant transformation was observed among cases in which endoscopic resection was not feasible when compared to those in which complete excision was feasible.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) has been an emerging substitute for conventional EMR (CEMR). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at comparing the efficiency and safety of the two techniques for removing ≥10 mm sessile or flat colorectal polyps. METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases were searched up to February 2023 to identify eligible studies that compared the outcomes of UEMR and CEMR. This meta-analysis was conducted on the en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, complete resection rate, procedure time, adverse events rate and recurrence rate. RESULTS: Nine studies involving 1,727 colorectal polyps were included: 881 were removed by UEMR, and 846 were removed by CEMR. UEMR was associated with a significant increase in en bloc resection rate [Odds ratio(OR) 1.69, 95% confidence interval(CI) 1.36-2.10, p<0.00001, I2 = 33%], R0 resection rate(OR 1.52, 95%CI 1.14-2.03, p = 0.004, I2 = 31%) and complete resection rate(OR 1.67, 95%CI 1.06-2.62, p = 0.03, I2 = 0%) as well as a significant reduction in procedure time(MD ‒4.27, 95%CI ‒7.41 to ‒1.13, p = 0.008, I2 = 90%) and recurrence rate(OR 0.52, 95%CI 0.33-0.83, p = 0.006, I2 = 6%). Both techniques were comparable in adverse events rate. CONCLUSION: UEMR can be a safe and efficient substitute for CEMR in removing ≥10 mm sessile or flat colorectal polyps. More studies verifying the advantages of UEMR over CEMR are needed to promote its application.

RESUMO

Early detection of colon adenomatous polyps is pivotal in reducing colon cancer risk. In this context, accurately distinguishing between adenomatous polyp subtypes, especially tubular and tubulovillous, from hyperplastic variants is crucial. This study introduces a cutting-edge computer-aided diagnosis system optimized for this task. Our system employs advanced Supervised Contrastive learning to ensure precise classification of colon histopathology images. Significantly, we have integrated the Big Transfer model, which has gained prominence for its exemplary adaptability to visual tasks in medical imaging. Our novel approach discerns between in-class and out-of-class images, thereby elevating its discriminatory power for polyp subtypes. We validated our system using two datasets: a specially curated one and the publicly accessible UniToPatho dataset. The results reveal that our model markedly surpasses traditional deep convolutional neural networks, registering classification accuracies of 87.1% and 70.3% for the custom and UniToPatho datasets, respectively. Such results emphasize the transformative potential of our model in polyp classification endeavors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Aberrant DNA methylation is prevalent in colorectal serrated lesions. We previously reported that the CpG island of SMOC1 is frequently methylated in traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) and colorectal cancers (CRCs) but is rarely methylated in sessile serrated lesions (SSLs). In the present study, we aimed to further characterize the expression of SMOC1 in early colorectal lesions. METHODS: SMOC1 expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in a series of colorectal tumors (n = 199) and adjacent normal colonic tissues (n = 112). RESULTS: SMOC1 was abundantly expressed in normal colon and SSLs while it was significantly downregulated in TSAs, advanced adenomas and cancers. Mean immunohistochemistry scores were as follows: normal colon, 24.2; hyperplastic polyp (HP), 18.9; SSL, 23.8; SSL with dysplasia (SSLD)/SSL with early invasive cancer (EIC), 15.8; TSA, 5.4; TSA with high grade dysplasia (HGD)/EIC, 4.7; non-advanced adenoma, 21.4; advanced adenoma, 11.9; EIC, 10.9. Higher levels SMOC1 expression correlated positively with proximal colon locations and flat tumoral morphology, reflecting its abundant expression in SSLs. Among TSAs that contained both flat and protruding components, levels of SMOC1 expression were significantly lower in the protruding components. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that reduced expression of SMOC1 is associated with progression of TSAs and conventional adenomas and that SMOC1 expression may be a biomarker for diagnosis of serrated lesions and risk prediction in colorectal tumors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) appears to be a promising technique for the removal of sessile serrated polyps (SSPs) ≥ 10 mm. To assess the effectiveness and safety of EMR for removing SSPs ≥ 10 mm, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: We conducted a thorough search of Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies reporting on EMR of SSPs ≥ 10 mm, up until December 2023. Our primary endpoints of interest were rates of technical success, residual SSPs, and adverse events (AE). RESULTS: Our search identified 426 articles, of which 14 studies with 2262 SSPs were included for analysis. The rates of technical success, AEs, and residual SSPs were 100%, 2.0%, and 3.1%, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the technical success rates were the same for polyps 10-19 and 20 mm, and en-bloc and piecemeal resection. Residual SSPs rates were similar in en-bloc and piecemeal resection, but much lower in cold EMR (1.0% vs. 4.2%, P = 0.034). AEs rates were reduced in cold EMR compared to hot EMR (0% vs. 2.9%, P = 0.168), in polyps 10-19 mm compared to 20 mm (0% vs. 4.1%, P = 0.255), and in piecemeal resection compared to en-bloc (0% vs. 0.7%, P = 0.169). CONCLUSIONS: EMR is an effective and safe technique for removing SSPs ≥ 10 mm. The therapeutic effect of cold EMR is superior to that of hot EMR, with a lower incidence of adverse effects.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer, and prevention relies on screening programs with resection complete resection of neoplastic lesions. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the best snare polypectomy technique for colorectal lesions up to 10 mm, focusing on complete resection rate, and adverse events. METHODS: A comprehensive search using electronic databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing hot versus cold snare resection for polyps sized up to 10 mm, and following PRISMA guidelines, a meta-analysis was performed. Outcomes included complete resection rate, en bloc resection rate, polypectomy, procedure times, immediate, delayed bleeding, and perforation. RESULTS: Nineteen RCTs involving 8720 patients and 17588 polyps were included. Hot snare polypectomy showed a higher complete resection rate (RD, 0.02; 95%CI [+0.00,0.04]; P=0.03; I 2=63%), but also a higher rate of delayed bleeding (RD 0.00; 95%CI [0.00, 0.01]; P=0.01; I 2=0%), and severe delayed bleeding (RD 0.00; 95%CI [0.00, 0.00]; P=0.04; I 2=0%). Cold Snare was associated with shorter polypectomy time (MD -46.89 seconds; 95%CI [-62.99, -30.79]; P<0.00001; I 2=90%) and shorter total colonoscopy time (MD -7.17 minutes; 95%CI [-9.10, -5.25]; P<0.00001; I 2=41%). No significant differences were observed in en bloc resection rate or immediate bleeding. CONCLUSION: Hot snare polypectomy presents a slightly higher complete resection rate, but, as it is associated with a longer procedure time and a higher rate of delayed bleeding compared to Cold Snare, it cannot be recommended as the gold standard approach. Individual analysis and personal experience should be considered when selecting the best approach.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Segmenting colorectal polyps presents a significant challenge due to the diverse variations in their size, shape, texture, and intricate backgrounds. Particularly demanding are the so-called "camouflaged" polyps, which are partially concealed by surrounding tissues or fluids, adding complexity to their detection. METHODS: We present CPSNet, an innovative model designed for camouflaged polyp segmentation. CPSNet incorporates three key modules: the Deep Multi-Scale-Feature Fusion Module, the Camouflaged Object Detection Module, and the Multi-Scale Feature Enhancement Module. These modules work collaboratively to improve the segmentation process, enhancing both robustness and accuracy. RESULTS: Our experiments confirm the effectiveness of CPSNet. When compared to state-of-the-art methods in colon polyp segmentation, CPSNet consistently outperforms the competition. Particularly noteworthy is its performance on the ETIS-LaribPolypDB dataset, where CPSNet achieved a remarkable 2.3% increase in the Dice coefficient compared to the Polyp-PVT model. CONCLUSION: In summary, CPSNet marks a significant advancement in the field of colorectal polyp segmentation. Its innovative approach, encompassing multi-scale feature fusion, camouflaged object detection, and feature enhancement, holds considerable promise for clinical applications.

RESUMO

The biological mechanisms and potential clinical impact of heterotopic ossification (HO) in colorectal neoplasms are not fully understood. This study investigates the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal neoplasms associated with HO and examines the potential role of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway in development of HO. An artificial intelligence (AI) based classification of colorectal cancers (CRC) exhibiting HO and their association with consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) is performed. The study included 77 cases via the Dutch nationwide Pathology databank. Immunohistochemistry for BMP2, SMAD4, and Osterix was performed. An AI algorithm assessed the tumour-stroma ratio to approximate the CMS. A literature search yielded 96 case reports, which were analysed and compared with our cases for clinicopathological parameters. HO was more frequently observed in our cohort in traditional serrated adenomas (25%), tubulovillous adenomas (25%) and juvenile polyps (25%), while in the literature it was most often seen in juvenile polyps (38.2%) and inflammatory polyps (29.4%). In both cohorts, carcinomas were mostly conventional (>60%) followed by mucinous and serrated adenocarcinomas. Higher expression of BMP2, SMAD4, and Osterix was observed in tumour and/or stromal cells directly surrounding bone, indicating activation of the BMP pathway. The tumour-stroma analysis appointed >50% of the cases to the mesenchymal subtype (CMS4) (59%). HO has a predilection for serrated and juvenile/inflammatory polyps, mucinous and serrated adenocarcinomas. BMP signalling is activated and seems to play a role in formation of HO in colorectal neoplasms. In line with TGFß/BMP pathway activation associated with CMS4 CRC, HO seems associated with CMS4.

RESUMO

Better understanding of molecular changes leading to neoplastic transformation is prerequisite to optimize risk assessment and chemopreventive and surveillance strategies. Data on macrophage inflammatory proteins (MIPs) in colorectal carcinogenesis are scanty and their clinical relevance remains unknown. Therefore, transcript and protein expression of CCL3, CCL4, CXCL2, and CCL19 were determined in 173 and 62 patients, respectively, using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry with reference to polyps' characteristics. The likelihood of malignancy was modeled using probit regression. With the increasing malignancy potential of hyperplastic-tubular-tubulo-villous-villous polyps, the expression of CCL3, CCL4, and CCL19 in lesions decreased. CCL19 expression decreased also in normal mucosa while that of CXCL2 increased. Likewise, lesion CCL3 and lesion and normal mucosa CCL19 decreased and normal CXCL2 increased along the hyperplasia-low-high dysplasia grade. The bigger the lesion, the lower CCL3 and higher CXCL2 in normal mucosa. Singular polyps had higher CCL3, CCL4, and CCL19 levels in normal mucosa. CCL3, CCL4 and CXCL2 modulated the likelihood of malignancy associated with traditional risk factors. There was no correlation between the protein and mRNA expression of CCL3 and CCL19. In summary, the polyp-adjacent mucosa contributes to gaining potential for malignancy by polyps. MIPs may help in specifying cancerization probability estimated based on standard risk factors.

RESUMO

Post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) remains a significant procedure-related complication, with multiple risk factors determining the risk including patient demographics, polyp characteristics, endoscopist expertise, and techniques of polypectomy. Immediate PPB is usually treated promptly, but management of delayed PPB can be challenging. Cold snare polypectomy is the optimal technique for small sessile polyps with hot snare polypectomy for pedunculated and large sessile polyps. Topical hemostatic powders and gels are being investigated for the prevention and management of PPB. Further studies are needed to compare these topical agents with conventional therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, large benign lateral spreading lesions (LSLs) and sessile polyps in the colorectum are mostly resected by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). A major drawback of EMR is the polyp recurrence rate of up to 20%. Snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) is considered an effective technique to reduce recurrence rates. However, clinical trials on STSC have mainly been conducted in expert referral centers. In these studies, polyp recurrence was assessed optically, and additional adjunctive techniques were excluded. In the current trial, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of STSC in daily practice, by allowing adjunctive techniques during EMR and the use of both optical and histological polyp recurrence to assess recurrences during follow-up. METHODS: The RESPECT study is a multicenter, parallel-group, international single blinded randomized controlled superiority trial performed in the Netherlands and Germany. A total of 306 patients undergoing piecemeal EMR for LSLs or sessile colorectal polyps sized 20-60 mm will be randomized during the procedure after endoscopic complete polyp resection to the intervention or control group. Post-EMR defects allocated to the intervention group will be treated with thermal ablation with STSC of the entire resection margin. Primary outcome will be polyp recurrence by optical and histological confirmation at the first surveillance colonoscopy after 6 months. Secondary outcomes include technical success and complication rates. DISCUSSION: The RESPECT study will evaluate if STSC is effective in reducing recurrence rates after piecemeal EMR of large colorectal lesions in daily clinical practice performed by expert and non-expert endoscopists. Moreover, endoscopists will be allowed to use adjunctive techniques to remove remaining adenomatous tissue during the procedure. Finally, adenomatous polyp recurrence during follow-up will be defined by histologic identification. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05121805. Registered on 16 November 2021. Start recruitment: 17 March 2022. Planned completion of recruitment: 31 April 2025.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of colorectal lesions in the first-degree relatives of patients with colorectal lesions among the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran (PERSIAN )Guilan Cohort Study (PGCS) population. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 162 first-degree relatives with a history of colorectal lesions were randomly selected from 52 participants in PGCS. All subjects underwent total colonoscopy by a gastroenterologist, and a pathologist evaluated colorectal biopsies. Also, individuals' demographic information, clinical data, and dietary habits were recorded. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 56.55 ± 7.04. Of 86 colon polyps, 52 neoplastic and 34 non-neoplastic polyps were observed in 56 patients (34.6%). Individuals with age > 60 years had 3.29-fold increased odds of developing colorectal polyps (OR = 3.29, 95% CI: 1.13-9.56, P = 0.029). The smokers were 2.73 times more susceptible to developing colorectal polyps than non-smokers (OR = 2.73, 95% CI: 1.24-6.02, P = 0.013). Moreover, consumption of vegetables more than three times per day was associated with decreased OR of colorectal polyp development (OR = 0.43, CI: 0.19-0.98, P = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS: Considering the high prevalence of neoplastic colorectal polyps among the first-degree relatives of patients with colorectal lesions, early screening is recommended for individuals with a family history of colorectal lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence represents an emerging area with promising potential for improving colonoscopy quality. AIMS: To develop a colon polyp detection model using STFT and evaluate its performance through a randomized sample experiment. METHODS: Colonoscopy videos from the Digestive Endoscopy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, recorded between January 2018 and November 2022, were selected and divided into two datasets. To verify the model's practical application in clinical settings, 1500 colonoscopy images and 1200 polyp images of various sizes were randomly selected from the test set and compared with the STFT model's and endoscopists' recognition results with different years of experience. RESULTS: In the randomized sample trial involving 1500 colonoscopy images, the STFT model demonstrated significantly higher accuracy and specificity compared to endoscopists with low years of experience (0.902 vs. 0.809, 0.898 vs. 0.826, respectively). Moreover, the model's sensitivity was 0.904, which was higher than that of endoscopists with low, medium, or high years of experience (0.80, 0.896, 0.895, respectively), with statistical significance (P < 0.05). In the randomized sample experiment of 1200 polyp images of different sizes, the accuracy of the STFT model was significantly higher than that of endoscopists with low years of experience when the polyp size was ≤ 0.5 cm and 0.6-1.0 cm (0.902 vs. 0.70, 0.953 vs. 0.865, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The STFT-based colon polyp detection model exhibits high accuracy in detecting polyps in colonoscopy videos, with a particular efficiency in detecting small polyps (≤ 0.5 cm)(0.902 vs. 0.70, P < 0.001).

RESUMO

Recent studies have shown that sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) lead to the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) with a microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype via a dysplasia-carcinoma sequence. However, the pathological and molecular mechanisms of SSL with dysplasia (SSLD) are unclear. Here, we aimed to examine the clinicopathological and molecular alterations in SSLD and to evaluate the significance of such alterations with regard to lesion progression. Fifty-four SSLDs (20 serrated dysplasia cases and 17 intestinal dysplasia cases, including 30 low-grade dysplasia [LGD] cases, 7 high-grade dysplasia [HGD] cases, and 17 intramucosal adenocarcinomas [IMAs]) were evaluated. Molecular alterations, including immunohistochemical expression of various markers, DNA methylation status, and multiple genetic mutations (using next-generation sequencing), were assessed. Additionally, such alterations were also investigated in 41 CRCs with an MSI phenotype (invasion beyond submucosa). The frequency of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in SSLD was 12 of 39 cases (32.4 %), whereas the MMR proficient type was observed in 17 of 39 SSLD cases. SSLD with serrated dysplasia showed a significantly higher frequency of loss of MMR protein expression and methylation status. Moreover, loss of MMR protein expression differed significantly between LGD and IMA. Furthermore, the frequency of TP53 mutation was significantly higher in IMA than in LGD. The current findings demonstrated that SSL with serrated dysplasia may be associated with an increased risk of malignant transformation compared with intestinal dysplasia. Loss of MMR proteins and mutation of TP53 may play important roles in tumor progression from dysplasia to carcinomatous lesions.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic removal techniques for colorectal polyps include cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP). Although HSP is recommended for pedunculated polyps (PPs) larger than 10 mm, data regarding use of CSP for PPs <10 mm continues to emerge. We aimed to investigate outcomes of these techniques in small (<10 mm) pedunculated colorectal polyps. METHODS: Multiple databases were searched till June 2022 to identify studies involving the removal of small PPs with CSP and HSP. Random effects model was used to calculate outcomes and 95% CI. Primary outcome was the pooled rate of successful en-bloc resection. Secondary outcomes were immediate and delayed bleeding with CSP and HSP as well as prophylactic and post resection clip placement. RESULTS: Six studies including 1025 patients (1111 polyps with a mean size 4 to 8.5 mm) were analyzed. 116 and 995 polyps were removed with HSP and CSP, respectively. The overall pooled rate of successful en-bloc resection with CSP was 99.7% (CI 99.1-99.9; I2 0%). Pooled immediate and delayed bleeding after CSP was 49.8% (CI 46.8-52.91; I2 98%) and 0% (CI 0.00-0.00; I2 0%), respectively. Delayed bleeding was higher with HSP, relative risk 0.05 (CI 0.01-0.43; I2 0%), P =0.006, whereas immediate bleeding was higher with CSP, relative risk 7.89 (CI 4.36-14.29; I2 0%), P <0.00001. Pooled rates of prophylactic clip placement and post-procedure clip placement (to control immediate bleeding) were 55.3% and 47.2%, respectively. Finally, right colon polyp location significantly correlated with frequency of immediate bleeding. CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows that CSP is safe and effective for resection of small PPs.

RESUMO

We performed a bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) design to explore the causal relation between telomere length (TL) and colorectal polyps. Genome-wide association study summary data of TL and colorectal polyps were extracted from the IEU open genome-wide association study database. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were served as instrumental variables at the significance threshold of P < 5 × 10-8. The inverse variance weighted method, MR-Egger method, and weight median method were performed for causal estimation in MR. Cochran Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, and leave-one-out analyses were performed to evaluate the pleiotropy of the MR results. One hundred and twenty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected as instrumental variables. We found significant casual association between TL and colorectal polyps. Long TL increased the risk of colorectal polyps using the inverse variance weighted method [ukb-a-521: odds ratio (OR): 1.004, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.001-1.007, P = .004; ukb-d-D12: OR: 1.008, CI: 1.004-1.012, P < .001; finn-b-CD2_BENIGN_COLORECANI_EXALLC2: OR: 1.170, CI: 1.027-1.332, P = .018]. Sensitivity analyses validated that the causality between TL and colorectal polyps was robust. The study provided a causal association between TL and colorectal polyps which indicated that TL might be served as a potential biomarker of colorectal polyps for screening and prevention. Nonetheless, the conclusions need further validation.
