Relationship Between Colorectal Carcinoma and Adenoma Detection Rate by Colonoscopy (original) (raw)

2020, Annals of Colorectal Research

Background: in recent years, colorectal cancer incidence has declined dramatically. Screening programs, based on endoscopic resection of polipoid precancerous lesions, are being fundamental in that desirable improvement. Material and methods: prospective observational study of a set of patients who had an endoscopic resection of colonic polipoid lesions from January-2007 to December-2012. We analized “polyps rate” by colonoscopy, number of patients, follow-up time, and “relationship with later cancer appearance“. Results: 841 patients (357 women, a 42’4%, and 484 men, a 57’65%) with a total of 7007 colorectal polyps and a medium follow-up of 66 +/- 21’84 months. During the following 12 patients were diagnosed of colorectal cancer, who had not had any statistical significant difference in “polyps rate per colonoscopy”, nor for the number of “advanced adenomas” (Z=0’11, p=0’91), nor for “total adenomatous polyps” (Z=1’84, p=0’07). Nevertheless, we could see that patients without color...
