El cáncer colorrectal (CCR) es un tipo de neoplasia gastrointestinal maligna que se
origina del colon o del recto. Aunque ambas formas pueden definirse simplemente como
cáncer de colon o recto dependiendo de su origen, a menudo se combinan debido a
muchas características biológicas y clínicas comune...
El cáncer de colon es producido por una alteración patológica del epitelio del colon, que puede
deberse a cambios genéticos y epigenéticos (1). GLOBOCAN 2020 indica que el cáncer
colorrectal ocupa el tercer lugar en términos de incidencia, y el segundo en términos de
mortalidad, a nivel mundial (...
Since the early 2000s, there has been a rapid
decline in colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality, due in large part
to screening and removal of precancerous polyps. Despite
these improvements, CRC remains the second leading cause
of cancer deaths in the United States, with approximately
53,000 deaths projected...
The American College of Physicians (ACP) developed this guideline to provide clinical recommendations on the role of colonoscopy for diagnostic evaluation of colorectal cancer (CRC) after a presumed diagnosis of acute left-sided colonic diverticulitis and on the role of pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, a...

Diverticulosis remains the commonest cause for acute lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding (GIB). Conservative management is initially sufficient for most patients, followed by elective diagnostic tests. However, if acute lower GIB persists, it can be investigated with colonoscopy, CT angiography (CTA), ...

Recent 15-year updates of sigmoidoscopy screening trials provide new evidence on the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening. Prompted by the new evidence, we asked: “Does colorectal cancer screening make an important difference to health outcomes in individuals initiating screening at age 50 to 7...
OBJECTIVE: To estimate benefits and harms of different colorectal cancer screening strategies, stratified by (baseline) 15-year colorectal cancer risk. DESIGN: Microsimulation modelling study using MIcrosimulation SCreening ANalysis-Colon (MISCAN-Colon).SETTING: A parallel guideline committee (BMJ Rapid ...

In the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed among adults and the second leading cause of death from cancer. For this guideline update, the American Cancer Society (ACS) used an existing systematic evidence review of the CRC screening literature and microsimula...

Serrated polyps have been recognised in the last decade as important premalignant lesions accounting for between 15% and 30% of colorectal cancers. There is therefore a clinical need for guidance on how to manage these lesions; however, the evidence base is limited. A working group was commission by the ...
