The recommendations discuss the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation of these tumours as well as their diagnosis, including biochemical, histopathological, and localisa- tion diagnoses. The principles of treatment are discussed, including endoscopic, surgical, pharmacological, and radionuclide treatments. Finally, there are also recommendations on patient monitoring.

Many studies deal with this topic, the majority discussing gastrointestinal health. Adenomatous colon polyps have a high prevalence as colon cancer precursors, but in many cases, they are hard to diagnose in their early stages. Gut microbiota composition correlated with the presence of adenomatous colon polyps may be a noninvasive and efficient tool for diagnosis with a high impact on human wellbeing and favorable health care costs.

  • Colon Polyps & Cancer Prevention
    Colon Polyps & Cancer Prevention Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in United States. Only lung cancer is more deadly. This year we can expect about 134,000 new cases of colon cancer and 55,000 deaths from colon cancer. The good news is that it is surprisingly easy to significantly lower your risk of this disease. Colon cancer is a malignant growth that occurs on the inner wall of the colon or rectum. It is recognized that colon cancer usually begins many years earlier as a small noncancerous growth called a polyp, which grows on the inner wall of the colon. Polyps arise from genetic mutations in the DNA of the cells that line the colon. All of the risk factors for developing these genetic mutations are not known, but genetics plays an important role. Over time some polyps will grow larger until they develop into colon cancer. Although there are always exceptions, current data suggests that this malignant transformation is slow and may take 10 years or longer. What is a Colon Polyp? A colon polyp is an abnormal tissue growth which arises on the inner surface of the colon. The colon, or large intestine, is six feet long and looks like a hollow pipe with a ribbed inner surface. For many reasons, some individuals grow polyps on the inner wall of the colon. Colon polyps are found in one of two shapes; pedunculated, polyps on stems or stalks that look like mushrooms; or sessile, which are flat and sometimes more difficult to find and remove.

The diagnosis of PHNEC remains challenging—partly due to its rarity, and partly due to its lack of unique clinical features. Available treatment options for PHNEC include surgical resection of the liver tumor(s), radiotherapy, liver transplant, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and administration of somatostatin analogues.

What Is a Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumor? Gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors are a type of cancer that forms in the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. To learn more about what cancer is and how it can grow and spread, see What Is Cancer?1 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 To understand gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors, it helps to know about the gastrointestinal system, as well as the neuroendocrine system. The gastrointestinal system The gastrointestinal (GI) system, also known as the digestive system, processes food for energy and rids the body of solid waste. After food is chewed and swallowed, it enters the esophagus. This tube carries food through the neck and chest to the stomach. The esophagus joins the stomachjust beneath the diaphragm (the breathing muscle under the lungs). The stomach is a sac that holds food and begins the digestive process by secreting gastric juice. The food and gastric juices are mixed into a thick fluid, which then empties into the small intestine.

  • Surgical Management of Polyps in the Treatment of Nasal Airway
    Surgical Management of Polyps in the TreatmentofNasal Airway Obstruction Samuel S. Becker, MD KEYWORDS FESS Nasal polyps Sinonasal polyps Polyp treatment Nasal obstruction In addition to their role in chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal congestion, sinonasal polyps are associated with significant nasal obstruction. Via a purely mechanical effect (ie, obstruction at its simplest level), polyps alter and otherwise block the normal flow of air through the nose. Similarly, by blocking the drainage pathways of the paranasal sinuses, sinus inflammation and its associated symptom of congestion occur. Because the pathway that leads to the formation of sinonasal polyps has not been completely elucidated, effective long-term treatments remain difficult to pinpoint. Management of these polyps, therefore, is a difficult challenge for the contemporary otolaryngologist. Some of the more common medical treatment options include: topical and oral steroids; macrolide antibiotics; diuretic nasal washes; and intrapolyp steroid injection. Surgical options include polypectomy and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). In addition, novel treatments for polyps are introduced with some frequency. This article presents an overview of management options for sino- nasal polyps, focusing on the indications, efficacy, and complications of the more common interventions. DIAGNOSIS AND PREVALENCE OF SINONASAL POLYPS Diagnosis of sinonasal polyps relies primarily on nasal endoscopy, with computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the extent of disease. Although unilateral

    Polyp Detection in Human Digestive System Images Mojtaba Akbari [email protected] Date of Submission: 2018/2/5 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan 84156-83111, Iran Degree: M.Sc. Language: Farsi Supervisor: Dr. S .Samavi, [email protected] Advisor: Dr. N. Karimi, [email protected] Abstract Colorectal cancer is one of the common cancers in the world. Polyps are the main cause of colorectal cancer. Early detection of polyps will increase chance of treatment. In medical imaging systems, especially in digestive systems imaging, cameras carry flash lights and reflection of this light into humid surface of colon will cause specular reflection. In this thesis we proposed adaptive method based on statistical features in both RGB and HSV color space for detection of specular reflections. Our proposed inpainting method has two main stages which in the first stage we select best patch based on our proposed cost function to replace into reflection section and in the second stage we use edge smoothing method to overcome unwanted edges resulting from first stage of inpainting method. We evaluated our proposed method in detection and inapinting of specular reflection on available colon database. Our proposed method reached 99.68% of accuracy which outperforms previous works in detection of specular reflections. The method we proposed for detection of colorectal polyps uses deep convolutional neural network. We also binarized weights of proposed CNN architecture in training phase for hardware implementation in future works. We evaluated our proposed method on colon database and proposed method reached 90.28% of accuracy.
