by Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery 10 Mar 2010 at 10:13am Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery 2010; 23: 021-030DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1247853ABSTRACTColonoscopy, the preferred procedure for colon cancer screening, has well-documented limitations. To improve colonoscopy's effectiveness, augmented endoscopy techniques, such as chromoendoscopy and narrow band imaging (NBI) have been evaluated. Both techniques are inexpensive, safe, and relatively easy to perform. Chromoendoscopy has an increasingly important role in surveillance of IBD, but significant work is needed to determine the optimal staining techniques and mucosal surface pattern analysis before this technique can be incorporated into routine clinical practice. NBI is a much newer technology with far less data. Well-designed prospective randomized controlled trials have failed to identify a be...MedWorm Message: Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm Swine Flu RSS news feed - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources. by Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery 10 Mar 2010 at 10:13am Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery 2010; 23: 051-058DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1247856ABSTRACTLaparoscopy has emerged as a useful tool in the surgical treatment of diseases of the colon and rectum. Specifically, in the application of colon cancer, a laparoscopic-assisted approach offers short-term benefits to patients while maintaining a long-term oncologic outcome. Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery may help decrease operative times while preserving the benefits of laparoscopy. The literature on the use of laparoscopy for rectal cancer is still in its early stages. Limited data suggest short-term benefits without compromising oncologic outcome; however, data from large multicenter trials will clarify the role of laparoscopy in the treatment of rectal cancer. Robotic proctectomy is a novel techn... by Health News: CBSNews.com 10 Mar 2010 at 9:22am In Full: CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric guided The Early Show anchor Harry Smith through a colonoscopy on live TV.

11 Mar 2010 at 1:00pm Obese patients with colon cancer are at greater risk for death or recurrent disease compared to those who are within a normal weight range, according to a new study. 10 Mar 2010 at 10:00am A professor of biochemistry who was researching protein kinase C gamma in the lens of the human eye found her work taking a fascinating turn when she discovered a correlation between the protein Coonexin46 and hypoxia -- a deficiency of oxygen which kills normal tissue cells. The researcher believes the findings will lead to serious advancements in treating retinoblastoma, a cancer that forms in the tissue of the retina. 9 Mar 2010 at 1:00am The increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with obesity may be largely restricted to tumors that have no or low microsatellite instability, a common condition in most colorectal cancers, according to a new study. 8 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm Patients with irritable bowel syndrome are at no greater risk of having polyps, colon cancer or inflammatory bowel diseases than healthy people undergoing colonoscopies, according to a new study. 6 Mar 2010 at 4:00am Researchers have found that PKC-iota (PKC-i), an oncogene important in colon and lung cancers, is over-produced in pancreatic cancer and is linked to poor patient survival. They also found that genetically inhibiting PKC-i in laboratory animals led to a significant decrease in pancreatic tumor growth and spread. 3 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm Tumor buds are single cells or clusters of up to five cells at the invasive tumor front of colorectal tumors which are important for patient outcome and hypothesized to have stem-cell like properties. A research group in Switzerland has investigated the expression of putative cancer stem cell markers in tumor buds of patients with colorectal cancer identifying expression of ABCG5 as a frequent event associated with poor prognosis. 2 Mar 2010 at 4:00am The next treatment for cancer might come from fish says new research. In the study, scientists show that the omega-3 fatty acid, "docosahexaenoic acid" or "DHA," and its derivatives in the body kill neuroblastoma cancer cells. This discovery could lead to new treatments for a wide range of cancers, including neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, colon, breast and prostate cancers, among others. 27 Feb 2010 at 10:00am A gene signature, first identified in mouse colon cancer cells, may help identify patients at risk of colon cancer recurrence, according to a recent study. The findings could help personalize treatments for colon cancer -- the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States -- by identifying patients most likely to benefit from chemotherapy. 23 Feb 2010 at 11:00pm Researchers have found that Kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) may activated protease-activated receptors (PARs), promoting the development of colon cancer. 22 Feb 2010 at 1:00am Researchers have used a new strategy to develop cancer vaccines that are remarkably effective in mice. The scientists report that 100 percent of the mice vaccinated with a peptide they developed remained alive and tumor-free for at least 60 days after inoculation with colon cancer cells. The research suggests a method for developing vaccines against a wide variety of cancers. 15 Feb 2010 at 11:00pm Certain patients with inflammatory bowel disease, both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease of the colon, have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer compared to individuals without IBD. A number of factors contribute to the increase in risk, which necessitates an individualized and sensible approach to surveillance in patients, according to a new medical position statement and technical review. 15 Feb 2010 at 4:00am Researchers describe the discovery of a specific protein called disabled-2 (Dab2) that switches on the process that releases cancer cells from the original tumor and allows the cells to spread and develop into new tumors in other parts of the body. 9 Feb 2010 at 4:00am Colorectal adenocarcinoma accounts for the majority of cases of colorectal cancer. A series of genetic mutations in the cells lining the colon (intestinal epithelial cells) is thought to be the cause of colorectal adenocarcinoma. By studying mouse models of colon cancer and tissue from individuals with colorectal adenocarcinoma, researchers have now identified RAB25 as one gene that might be involved in the formation of colorectal adenocarcinomas. 22 Jan 2010 at 1:00pm High blood levels of vitamin D are associated with a lower risk of colon cancer, finds a large European study. The risk was cut by as much as 40 percent in people with the highest levels compared with those in the lowest. 19 Jan 2010 at 1:00am Many industrialized countries welcomed reduced rates of colon cancer in the second half of the twentieth century, but Spain remains the exception. The most startling phenomenon is the 'unstoppable increase' in the incidence in both men and women. From 1951 to 2000 mortality also increased in Spain. These are the conclusions of the first map of colon cancer in Spain. |
10 Mar 2010 at 7:00pm It's long been known that obesity is linked to increased risk of developing colon cancer, but now researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Minnesota have found that obesity is associated with worse outcomes in patients who have already been diagnosed and treated for the cancer... 10 Mar 2010 at 11:00am Scientists in the US who undertook a large study to investigate what biological mechanisms might be behind the already established link between colorectal cancer and consumption of red and processed meat, confirmed that such a link exists and suggested the main players are three compounds: heme iron, nitrate/nitrite, and heterocyclic amines... 10 Mar 2010 at 6:00am Obese patients with colon cancer are at greater risk for death or recurrent disease compared to those who are within a normal weight range, according to a report in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research... 10 Mar 2010 at 3:00am Patients with irritable bowel syndrome are at no greater risk of having polyps, colon cancer or inflammatory bowel diseases than healthy people undergoing colonoscopies, according to new research published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. "Patients and doctors get nervous about the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)," says William D. Chey, M.D... 9 Mar 2010 at 4:00am Convenience of Retail Health Clinics Attractive to Patients The time and cost savings offered by retail clinics are attractive to patients, and they are likely to seek care for minor illnesses there given sufficient cost savings, according to a telephone survey of nearly 500 adults... 8 Mar 2010 at 4:00am The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in China is lower than that in the west countries, but has increased in recent years and become a substantial cancer burden in China, particularly in the more developed areas. Some studies have reported changes in the characteristics of CRC in China... 8 Mar 2010 at 3:00am The increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with obesity may be largely restricted to tumors that have no or low microsatellite instability (MSI), a common condition in most colorectal cancers, according to a new study published online March 8 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute... 8 Mar 2010 at 2:00am Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death among men and women nationwide, yet only half of people who need CRC screening receive it. The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute is working to educate patients about the importance of screening and to encourage everyone age 50 and older to get screened for CRC... 6 Mar 2010 at 3:00am Tumor budding at the invasive tumor front of colorectal cancer is recognized as an independent prognostic factor significantly related to both lymph node and distant metastasis... 3 Mar 2010 at 6:00am Recent reports of President Obama's CT colonography, or virtual colonoscopy, as a screening test for colorectal cancer and coverage by the Associated Press of an NIH State-of-the-Science conference heralding stool blood tests as an inexpensive alternative to colonoscopy may leave many consumers wondering which colorectal cancer test is best for them... 3 Mar 2010 at 2:00am Boston University School of Medicine's (BUSM) researchers have found that sociodemographic characteristics are related to a patients' willingness to participate in cancer screenings. They found this was more important than both attitudinal barriers and medical facilitors. This study appears in the March issue of the Journal of the National Medical Association... 2 Mar 2010 at 2:00am Celsion Corporation (Nasdaq: CLSN) announced that it will initiate a Randomized Phase II Study of Lyso-Thermosensitive Liposomal Doxorubicin (ThermoDox®) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Colorectal Liver Metastases (CRLM). Dr. Steven K... 1 Mar 2010 at 4:00am A gene signature, first identified in mouse colon cancer cells, may help identify patients at risk of colon cancer recurrence, according to a recent study by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers... 26 Feb 2010 at 6:00am Light Sciences Oncology, Inc.
