Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) has been shown to be effective in reducing cause-specific mortality. However, although it detects pre-cancerous adenomas, is uncertain whether FOBT reduces incidence of invasive cancer. The objective evaluate impact with immunochemical (FIT) on CRC and mortality.An organized program was implemented 2005 province Reggio Emilia (Northern Italy). invites resident population aged 50-69 for FIT every 2 years. Subjects who...

<h3>Objective</h3> Miss rate of polyps has been shown to be substantially lower with full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE) compared standard forward-viewing (SFV) colonoscopy in a tandem study at per polyp analysis. However, there is uncertainty on whether FUSE also associated higher detection colorectal neoplasia, especially advanced lesions, patient <h3>Methods</h3> Consecutive subjects undergoing following positive faecal immunochemical test (FIT) by experienced endoscopists and performed the...
Acute, acute recurrent, and chronic pancreatitis are inflammatory diseases with multifactorial pathogenic mechanisms. Genetic mutations polymorphisms have been correlated pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK-1) gene monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) -2518A/G polymorphism (AP), recurrent (ARP), (CP), associate genetic backgrounds clinical phenotype...
INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic cancer (PC) surveillance of high-risk individuals (HRI) is becoming more common worldwide, aiming at anticipating PC diagnosis a preclinical stage. In 2015, the Italian Registry Families Risk Cancer was created. We aimed to assess prevalence and incidence pancreatic findings, oncological outcomes, harms 7 years after inception, focusing on with least 3-year follow-up or developing events before. METHODS: HRI (subjects family history mutation carriers with/without...
AIM:To determine the efficacy of our therapeutic strategy for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori ) eradication and to identify predictive factors successful eradication. METHODS: From April 2006 June 2010, we retrospectively assessed 2428 consecutive patients (1025 men, 1403 women; mean age 55 years, range 18-92 years) with gastric histology positive H. infection referred unit 13-C urea breath test (UBT), after first-line therapy proton pump inhibitor (PPI) b.i.d.+ amoxicillin 1 g clarithromycin...
A 68-year-old man was referred to our hospital for endoscopic treatment of a nongranular pseudodepressed laterally spreading tumor (LST) the hepatic flexure with histological diagnosis adenocarcinoma discovered in another center and which he refused surgery.
The authors report a case of 48-year-old Caucasian woman with 3.5 cm residual polyp embedded in tissue scar, as result three endoscopic piecemeal resection sessions 10 sessile the lower rectum, previously diagnosed from biopsy tubulous-villous adenoma high-grade dysplasia.
To evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary team case discussion including computed tomography (CT) radiologic review on surgical outcome and overall survival (OS) patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Patients PDAC evaluated in 2008-2011 2013-2016 (before after introduction), aged <85 years staged I-III, were included. Surgical failures 2-year OS compared these periods. Available CT scans preintervention period (2008-2011) cases reviewed by two radiologists consensus,...
Aims Indeterminate biliary strictures (IDBS) represents a diagnostic challenge. Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (D-SOC) allows biopsies of lesions under direct visualization [1]. However, the yield D-SOC is still suboptimal [2], and optimal specimen processing technique remains unclear. In our analysis, we retrospectively compared three different tissue methods to determine strategy ([Table 1]).
Aims To compare the efficacy of cholangioscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) with traditional techniques as mechanical (ML) and extracorporeal shock wave (ESWL) in treatment difficult biliary stones evaluate factors related to failure lithotripsy.
