Abstract Background and aims New image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE), blue Light Imaging (LED-BLI) is launched in USA Europe, whereas Blue Laser (Laser-BLI) available only Asian some countries. No studies have directly compared the diagnostic accuracy of narrow band imaging (NBI), Laser-BLI LED-BLI for colorectal tumors. The present study aimed to compare three methods tumor using NBI international endoscopic (NICE) classification Japanese Expert Team (JNET) classifications. Methods This was a...
This retrospective cohort study compared the number of newly diagnosed patients, stage at diagnosis, and detection process gastrointestinal cancers based on hospital-based cancer registry data two tertiary Japanese hospitals. The pre-COVID-19 period was from January 2017 to February 2020, with phase 1 (midst COVID-19 pandemic) March December 2020 2 (the transition "new normal") 2021. Each month, patients esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, biliary tract were aggregated,...
Chronic constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder, and management crucial. Computed tomography (CT) useful for evaluating rectal fecal mass but limited owing to radiation exposure, cost, inaccessibility at certain facilities. Ultrasonography (US) avoids these pitfalls, it unknown whether accurately assesses feces. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of US compared with CT as gold standard assessing
Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) are widely used drugs for treating allergic asthma, and they have recently been suggested to a suppressive effect on carcinogenesis cancer cell proliferation. Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) considered reliable surrogate biomarker of colorectal cancer. This prospective study explored the chemopreventive an LTRA colonic ACF formation safety medicine in patients as pilot trial leading chemoprevention trial. was nonrandomized, open-label, controlled with ACFs....
A male aged in his 30s was referred to our hospital for examination and treatment after an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed extramural compression. Ultrasonography a mass lesion approximately 40 mm maximum diameter, with cyst inside the posterior wall of fornix. The interior mosaic-like, part it suspected be continuous fourth layer. Following biopsy, preoperative diagnosis gastric plexiform angiomyxoid myofibroblastic tumor made. laparoscopic partial gastrectomy performed both...
Abstract Background/Purpose There is currently no consensus on the use of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for early stage duodenal ampullary adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate feasibility EP patients with Methods Patients who underwent adenocarcinomas were investigated. Complete and clinical complete resection rates evaluated. Clinical was defined as either or positive unknown margins but cancer in surgically resected specimen, recurrence endoscopy after at least a 1‐year follow‐up....
