Abstract
BACKGROUND Polypectomy is an important treatment option for preventing colorectal cancer. Incomplete polyp resection (IPR) is re-cognized as a risk factor for interval cancer. OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to evaluate the complete polyp resection (CPR) rate for cold snare polypectomy (CSP) in small non-pedunculated polyps and, secondarily, specimen retrieval and complication rates. METHODS We prospectively evaluated 479 polyps <10 mm removed by CSP in 276 patients by an inexperienced endoscopist. RESULTS A total of 476 polyps (99.4%) were resected en bloc. A negative margin (classified as CPR) was observed in 435 polyps (90.8%). An unclear or positive margin (classified as IPR) was observed in 43 cases (9.0%) and 1 case (0.2%), respectively, for an overall IPR rate of 9.2% (44/479). The IPR rate was 12.2% in the first half of cases and 5.9% in the second half (P=0.02). Dividing into tertiles, the IPR rate was 15.0% in the first tertile, 6.9% in the second tertile, and 5.7% in the third tertile (P=0.01). Dividing into quartiles, the IPR rate was 15.8% in the first quartile and 5.9% in the fourth quartile (P=0.03). The IPR rate was 6.3% for type 0-IIa lesions and 14.1% for type 0-Is lesions (P=0.01). For serrated and adenomatous lesions, the IPR rate was 9.2%. Specimen retrieval failed in 3.6% of cases. Immediate bleeding (>30 s) occurred in 1 case (0.2%), treated with argon plasma coagulation. No delayed bleeding or perforation occurred. CONCLUSION CSP is a safe technique that provides good results for the resection of small non-pedunculated polyps, with a short learning curve.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The likelihood of recurrence of gastric hyperplastic polyps (GHPs) following endoscopic resection and the need for long-term follow-up remain unknown. We, therefore, aimed to investigate the factors associated with the recurrence and cumulative incidence of GHPs over a 10-year period. METHODS Between May 1995 and December 2020, 1,018 GHPs > 1 cm were endoscopically resected from 869 patients. Medical records of these patients were retrospectively reviewed and their clinical features and outcomes were assessed. Groups of GHPs with recurrence and those without recurrence group were compared, and univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify the potential risk factors for GHP recurrence. RESULTS A total of 104 (12.0%) patients who underwent endoscopic removal of GHPs experienced recurrence. Compared to patients without recurrent GHPs, those with recurrent GHPs showed considerably larger median polyp size (28 mm vs. 14 mm, P < 0.001), a higher proportion of multiple polyps (41.3% vs. 29.3%, P = 0.020), polyps with lobulation (63.5% vs. 40.3%, P = 0.001), and exudate (63.5% vs. 46.8%, P = 0.001). Compared to the local recurrence (n = 52) group, the metachronous recurrence (n = 52) group had larger median polyp size (20 mm vs. 16 mm, P = 0.006) as well as higher rates of polyp lobulation (86.5% vs. 40.4%, P < 0.001) and exudate (82.7% vs. 44.4%, P = 0.001). After primary GHP excision, the cumulative incidence of recurrence was 7.2%, 12.7%, and 19.6% at 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSION The incidence of GHP recurrence following endoscopic excision increased as the follow-up period increased, especially in patients whose GHPs were large-sized, multiple, or characterized by surface exudates/lobulations.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) as therapeutic approaches for intestinal polyps in patients, and to examine the factors associated with postoperative bleeding. This study included 132 patients diagnosed with colorectal polyps (188 polyps) who underwent endoscopic surgery at our hospital between January 2022 and December 2022. Based on the surgical method employed, the patients were divided into 2 groups: EMR (68 cases, 97 polyps) and APC (64 cases, 91 polyps). Comparative analyses were conducted to assess the clinical efficacy, surgery-related indicators, and quality of life the 2 groups. Furthermore, an investigation was carried out to identify the factors associated with postoperative bleeding. The analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in the cure rate of flat and superficial raised polyps between the EMR group and the APC (P > .05). However, it was found that the EMR group exhibited a significantly higher cure rate for subpedunculated and raised-pedunculated polyps compared to the APC group (P < .05). The results of logistics analysis showed that patients with hypertension (OR = 2.876, 95% CI: 1.119-7.393), patients with diabetes (OR = 5.278, 95% CI: 1.388-20.064), patients with hyperlipidemia (OR = 2.594, 95% CI: 1.054-6.380), the polyps of right hemicolon (OR = 2.743, 95% CI: 1.003-7.504), rectal polyps (OR = 5.143, 95% CI: 1.728-7.504), pedunculated polyps (OR = 4.758, 95% CI: 1.322-17.129), adenomatous polyps (OR = 3.152, 95% CI: 1.018-9.757) were independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding in patients with colorectal polyps (P < .05). The findings suggest that for subpedunculated and pedunculated-raised polyps, EMR can be a suitable treatment approach. On the other hand, flat and superficial-raised polyps can be effectively managed with either EMR or APC. The presence of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, polyps of the right hemicolon, rectal polyps, pedunculated polyps, and adenomatous polyps has been established as independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding in patients with colorectal polyps.

Abstract
Introduction: Colonoscopy with polypectomy is an efficacious procedure in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer development, the precursor are adenomatous polyps. The most common method for resection of polyps measuring 4-10 mm are cold (CSP) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP). CSP has a lower incidence of adverse events, especially delayed post-polypectomy bleeding. Aim: To evaluate the presence of immediate and delayed bleeding in the cold snare polypectomy of sub-centimeter polyps of the colon compared with hot snare polypectomy. Materials and Methods: This prospective clinical study is comprised all patients who were incidentally detected to have adenomatous colonic polyps measuring 4-10 mm during a colonoscopy screening. Polypectomy was done with (hot snare) or without electrocautery (cold snare). After removal of polyps, immediate bleeding, delayed bleeding, and methods for were analyzed. Results: The CSP and HSP groups included 116 patients, 113 (54.4%) polyps in 61 (52.6%) patients with CSP while 95 (45.6%) polyps in 55 (47.4%) patients with HSP. 25 (22.1%) polyps after CSP had immediate bleeding. In 5 patients (20.0%), five hemostatic clips were inserted after CSP for bleeding longer than 150 sek. The average percentage difference between immediate bleeding versus total number of resected polyps using the cold snare method is not statistically significant (p<0.05) (Difference test, p=0.0000). Delayed bleeding was not registered using this method. In the second investigated group (HSP), one patient had delayed bleeding. This was stopped with 2 clips. Immediate bleeding was not registered. Conclusion: CSP is safer than HSP in resecting colon polyps sized 4-10 mm, without risk of delayed bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Little is known about the effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on the recurrence of gastric hyperplastic polyps after endoscopic resection. Thus, we evaluated the recurrence rate of gastric hyperplastic polyps based on H. pylori eradication following endoscopic resection. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 201 patients with H. pylori infection who underwent endoscopic resection for gastric hyperplastic polyps at six medical centers. H. pylori status was assessed by histological analysis and a rapid urease test. A total of 149 patients underwent successful H. pylori eradication (eradication group), whereas 52 patients had persistent H. pylori infections (non-eradication group). The recurrence rate of gastric hyperplastic polyps and the risk factors according to H. pylori status were analyzed. RESULTS During the mean follow-up period of 18.3 months, recurrent gastric polyps developed after endoscopic resection in 10 patients (19.2% [10/52]) in the non-eradication group and 12 patients (8.1% [12/149]) in the eradication group. The cumulative incidence of recurrent gastric hyperplastic polyps was significantly higher in the non-eradication group than in the eradication group (p = 0.041, log-rank test). In the adjusted analysis, H. pylori eradication reduced the recurrence of gastric hyperplastic polyps (hazard ratio [HR], 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18 to 0.99), whereas anticoagulation therapy increased the risk of recurrence of gastric hyperplastic polyps (HR, 4.91; 95% CI, 1.39 to 17.28). CONCLUSION Successful eradication of H. pylori may reduce the recurrence of gastric hyperplastic polyps in patients after endoscopic mucosal resection.

Abstract
<b>Introduction:</b> Adenomatous polyps are pivotal to the development of colorectal cancer. The risk of colorectal carcinogenesis can be reduced through polypectomy and close surveillance of the disease. Early-stage polyps can be detected and removed endoscopically, therefore, reducing the incidence of carcinoma. The identification of CSC in colon polyps allows for assessment of their potential malignancy. Therefore, it is very relevant to study the prognostic significance of the prevalence of stem cells in colorectal polyps in early detection and prevention of cancer. </br></br> <b> Method:</b> Previously pathologically evaluated adenomatous tumors (60M, 40F) at Azerbaijan Medical University were reevaluated in Meram Medical Faculty Pathology Department. Hematoxylin-Eosin-stained slides were examined and cases with and without dysplasia were determined. New sections were taken from paraffin blocs. Prominin-1 staining was performed immunohistochemically on these sections. Stained slides were examined by an image analysis system. Prominin-1-positive cells were automatically counted with the same image analysis system. The cases that developed malignancy after polypectomy were determined. The relationship between CD133 expression of dysplasia and malignancy was statistically analyzed. </br></br> <b> Results:</b> Statistically significant prominin-1 expression was detected in cases with dysplasia and malignancy. </br></br> <b> Conclusion:</b> The investigation of prominin-1 expression in colorectal polyps may be important to determine malignancy development.

Abstract
Sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenoma (SNADA) is a rare disease, and therefore, its clinical characteristics have not been comprehensively investigated. Furthermore, owing to the high complication rates and severity of endoscopic resection, treatment strategies vary among facilities. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics and course of SNADA.We extracted clinical and histological records of SNADA cases diagnosed in 11 hospitals between September 1999 and August 2014. The patients were divided into "no-resection" and "resection" groups based on the initial treatment approach. We investigated the long-term outcome of the "no-resection" group and treatment results of the "resection" group, with particular interest in endoscopic resection.Overall, 299 patients were diagnosed with SNADA. The median age at diagnosis was 67 years (range, 31-88 years), with approximately twice as many men as women. The median tumor size was 8.0 mm (2-60 mm). In total, 161 patients were initially selected for no-resection and 138 underwent resection. Age >70 years and the presence of either severe illness or poor performance status were significantly related to opting for no-resection. In the no-resection group, 101 patients underwent endoscopic follow-up for at least 1 year. During the observational period (2.5 ± 2.2 years), 27 lesions (27%) disappeared following cold forceps biopsy, and 13 lesions (14%) presented lateral growth. Four lesions (4%) changed to mucosal carcinoma, 3 were treated endoscopically, and 1 was surgically resected. Nineteen patients died; however, no one died of duodenal carcinoma. In the endoscopic resection group, en bloc resection was achieved in 78% of patients. However, the complication rate for perforation was 7%, and endoscopic submucosal dissection was associated with a 36% perforation rate.With the low incidence of cancer development and no disease specific death, the strategy of initially not performing resection could be considered especially for the older adults, poor-prognosis patients, or small lesions.

Abstract
Early detection and resection of adenomatous polyps prevents their progression to colorectal cancer (CRC), significantly improving patient outcomes. Polyps are typically identified and removed during white-light colonoscopy. Unfortunately, the rate of interval cancers that arise between CRC screening events remains high, linked to poor visualization of polyps during screening and incomplete polyp removal. Here, we sought to evaluate the potential of a hyperspectral endoscope (HySE) to enhance polyp discrimination for detection and resection. We designed, built and tested a new compact HySE in a proof-of-concept clinical study. We successfully collected spectra from three tissue types in seven patients undergoing routine colonoscopy screening. The acquired spectral data from normal tissue and polyps, both pre- and post- resection, were subjected to quantitative analysis using spectral angle mapping and machine learning, which discriminated the data by tissue type, meriting further investigation of HySE as a clinical tool.

Abstract
CASE SUMMARY A healthy 52-year-old woman without any family history presents for a health maintenance appointment and opts for a fecal immunochemical test for colorectal cancer screening after reviewing her options. After a positive result, she is referred for colonoscopy. She is found to have 3 small (<10 mm) polyps that are completely resected via snare polypectomy and return as tubular adenomas on histologic examination. It is recommended that she return for repeat colonoscopy in 3 years, at which point she has a normal examination with excellent preparation by an experienced endoscopist and is given the option to return to her average-risk screening interval.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Thermal ablation of the defect margin after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR-T) for treating large (≥20 mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) has shown efficacy in a randomized trial, with a 4-fold reduction, in residual or recurrent adenoma (RRA) at first surveillance colonoscopy (SC1). The clinical effectiveness of this treatment, in the real world, remains unknown. METHODS We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of EMR-T in an international multicenter prospective trial (NCT02957058). The primary endpoint was the frequency of RRA at SC1. Detailed demographic, procedural, and outcome data were recorded. Exclusion criteria were LNPCPs involving the ileo-caecal valve, the appendiceal orifice, and circumferential LNPCPs. RESULTS During 51 months (May 2016-August 2020) 1049 LNPCPs in 1049 patients (median size, 35 mm; interquartile range, 25-45 mm; right colon location, 53.5%) were enrolled. Uniform completeness of EMR-T was achieved in 989 LNPCPs (95.4%). In this study, 755/803 (94.0%) eligible LNPCPs underwent SC1 (median time to SC1, 6 months; interquartile range, 5-7 months). For LNPCPs that underwent complete EMR-T, the frequency of RRA at SC1 was 1.4% (10/707). CONCLUSIONS In clinical practice, EMR-T is a simple, inexpensive, and highly effective auxiliary technique that is likely to significantly reduce RRA at first surveillance. It should be universally used for the management of LNPCPs after EMR. https://clinicaltrials.gov; Clinical Trial Number, NCT02957058.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Advanced colorectal polyps (adenoma or sessile serrated polyp ≥ 1 cm, adenoma with villous features, adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, or any sessile serrated polyps with dysplasia) are associated with an increased risk of future advanced colorectal neoplasia and confer an increased risk of advanced neoplasia to first-degree family members. Professional societies therefore recommend more intensive surveillance of these polyps and earlier screening for first-degree relatives. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge of personal and familial risk and recommendations among patients with advanced colorectal polyps and identify predictors of knowledge. METHODS An online survey was designed to assess the domains of knowledge and risk perception regarding personal and familial colorectal cancer risk and screening recommendations. After expert review and pilot testing, the 37-item survey was electronically sent to all patients diagnosed with an advanced colon or rectal polyp under the age of 60. Patient report of polyp findings was compared to documented findings in the medical record. Univariable and multivariable regressions were performed to evaluate predictors of knowledge. RESULTS One hundred thirty-seven out of 344 (39.8%) eligible patients responded to the survey. 28.5% of participants reported that the polyp they had removed was precancerous. 54.8% of participants reported that they have a higher risk of CRC, and 65.2% reported that they should be undergoing colonoscopy surveillance in 3 years or less. 40.1% reported that their first-degree family members are at increased CRC risk, and 38.0% reported that first-degree family members should get earlier screening. Participants reported their endoscopists as their top source of information about risk and recommendations, though only 7.3% of endoscopists made recommendations for family members. Female gender and higher income were predictors of accurate knowledge, as endoscopist was the main source of knowledge. CONCLUSIONS Patients with advanced colorectal polyps have poor knowledge of personal and familial CRC risk and recommendations. Endoscopists who remove advanced polyps are in an ideal position to educate their patients about their personal risk and the risk and recommendations for first-degree family members.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with acromegaly are at increased risk of colorectal polyps. However, their risk of colorectal cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the histopathological features of colorectal polyps in patients with acromegaly and compare their risk of colorectal cancer with that in healthy controls. METHODS The study participants were 178 patients who underwent Hardy's operation and perioperative colonoscopy at our hospital between April 2008 and September 2016. For the control group, we randomly selected 356 age- and sex-matched patients who underwent colonoscopy at our hospital during the same period. The incidence, size, location, and histology of the colorectal polyps detected were compared between the groups. RESULTS Colorectal polyps were detected in 66.8% of the acromegaly group and 24.2% of the control group (P < 0.001). The average number and size of the polyps were 2.44 and 4.74 mm, respectively, in the acromegaly group and 1.77 and 3.89 mm in the control group (P = 0.001). Polyps in the acromegaly group were more likely to be in the rectosigmoid region (P = 0.006). In the acromegaly group, the frequency of polyps ≥5 mm was 34.3% and that for polyps ≥10 mm was 15.2%; the respective values were 7.6% and 2.2% in the control group (P < 0.001). We found no evidence of between-group histopathological differences in the polyp specimens resected by endoscopy. CONCLUSIONS Patients with acromegaly are at an increased risk of colorectal polyps, especially in the rectosigmoid region. However, there is no pathological evidence that they are at greater risk of colorectal cancer than the general population.

Abstract
Background: Duodenal polyposis (DP) is often associated in patients with in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and the risk of malignancy is endoscopically assessed using the Spigelman score. Endoscopic therapy is the first option for PD while surgery is indicated for the advanced stages of the disease (Spiegelman III-IV). Pancreas-sparing duodenectomy (PSD) was proposed as a less aggressive alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), leaving the entire pancreas in situ while the number of anastomoses is reduced.
Open PSD with Billroth or pillorus preserving reconstruction is the general used. The use of a Roux limb is very limited in literature, as it increases the procedure complexity, the number of anastomosis and it may reduce the endoscopic access for the postoperative surveillance after total duodenectomy. We aim to describe the technique for Laparoscopic Pancreas Sparing Total Duodenectomy (LPSTD) with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and to present the procedure's outcomes in a patient presenting Spigelman IV duodenal polyposis associated with FAP after open total colectomy.
Method: Laparoscopic Pancreas Sparing Total Duodenectomy (LPSTD) with antrectomy cholecystectomy and Roux en Y reconstruction was performed in a 39-year-old man with a history of FAP, open colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis and duodenal polyps. The preoperative investigations and the surgical steps of the laparoscopic approach are described in details.
Results: The operative time was 280 minutes. Two postoperative complications were encountered, a self-limited pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis hemorrhage occurred in POD 1 and necrosis of the cystic duct stump with bile peritonitis (POD7). Both of them required laparoscopic exploration. Oral feeding was introduced in the POD 2. The patient has been discharged in the POD 14. No other complications like delayed gastric emptying, pancreatic or biliary fistula at the site of PJA or ulcer were encountered. The 6 months postoperative evaluation, including the CT scan and the endos-copic retrograde inspection of the neo-papilla revealed no recurrence on the jejunum.
Conclusions: Although it is a complex technique, LPSTD represents a good alternative to PD for patients with FAP and large, periampullary villous adenoma especially those with high grade dysplasia. The use of laparoscopy and of Roux en Y reconstruction may reduce the postoperative morbidity rate in PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is an accepted technique to remove diminutive or small (6-9 mm) polyps. Here we present a series of CSP for advanced non-pedunculated polyps (> 10 mm). PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective, single operator study. A total of 111 patients with non-pedunculated polyps (Paris classification 0-IIa, 0-IIb, 0-Is) estimated > 10 mm, underwent CSP. RESULTS A total of 129 polyps were removed (87 0-IIa, 18 0-IIb, 24 0-Is). The number of these polyps ranked according to size were as follows : 11-19 mm : 63 (49%), 20-29 mm : 44 (34%), > 30 mm : 22 (17%). Thirty-eight (29.5%) were sessile serrated adenomas, 47 (36%) were tubular adenomas, 25 (19.3%) were villous adenoma's and 18 (14%) were hyperplastic polyps. Forty-nine (38%) polyps were resected in a piecemeal fashion, submucosal injection with diluted Indigo Carmine was used in 24 (19%). Immediate oozing bleeding was frequent but in almost all patients rapid spontaneous haemostasis occurred. In only one patient haemostatic clipping was required (in order to achieve hemostasis). Preventive clipping was used in 3 patients. There were no complications. Seventy-two patients (with 87 lesions) had a follow-up colonoscopy. Of these 87 lesions, 9 had residual adenomatous tissue (10.3 %). According to the size of the original polyp, the distribution was as follows: 11-19 mm : 2/36 (5.5 %), 20-29 mm : 4/32 (12.5 %), > 30 mm : 3/19 (15.7%). CONCLUSION CSP for advanced, non-pedunculated lesions is feasible, effective and extremely safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and jumbo forceps polypectomy (JFP) have been shown to be effective for removing diminutive colorectal polyps (DCPs) (≤5 mm). However, no study has compared complete resection rates between CSP and JFP for DCPs. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of JFP with CSP for the removal of DCPs. METHODS This was a prospective randomized controlled trial from 2 tertiary-care referral centers. A total of 1003 patients were screened, and 169 patients with 196 DCPs were enrolled. The main outcome was complete polyp resection rate. RESULTS Of 196 diminutive polyps, 177 (90.3%) were adenomatous polyps. The overall complete resection rate was 92.1% (163/177). The complete resection rate was not significantly different between JFP and CSP groups (92.0% vs 92.2%; P = .947). JFP achieved complete resection rates comparable with CSP for polyps >3 mm (90.3% vs 89.8%; P = .928). Polypectomy procedure time, tissue retrieval rate, and rate of postpolypectomy adverse events were not significantly different between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Both JFP and CSP achieved complete resection rates of >90% for DCPs. Thus, JFP may be considered for polypectomy of DCPs. (International clinical trial registry number: KCT0002805.).

Abstract
AIM Colorectal polyp is the most commonly encountered intestinal colon pathology in patients over 50 years of age, and 5% of which develops a "colorectal cancer". The early-stage polyps can be detected and removed endoscopically, which reduce the incidence of carcinoma. Our study is aimed to investigate the role of colonoscopy in colorectal adenoma treatment and screening for colorectal cancers, and to answer the question of whether the colorectal polyps would become malignant or not malignant by means of the comparative analysis of their histological features. METHODS In the interval between 2011 and 2016 years, endoscopic polypectomy was performed in 118 out of 1375 patients at the Endoscopy Department of the Central Customs Hospital, either with a snare loop and a biopsy clamp. The age group of the patients was between 20 and 65years. A retrospective analysis was performed in 100 of these patients, of whom 18 were later excluded. RESULTS Grounding on the histopathological evaluation, adenomatous polyps were differentiated into tubular (65-80%), tubulovillous (25%), and villous (5-10%) adenomas. In particular, 90% of 1 cm (small) polyps were tubular. Dysplasia was found in 42 out of the 100 polyps. The 42 patients with dysplasia were reevaluated, and 26 (61.9%) later developed a malignancy. Malignancy did not occur in the case of any of the 58 polyps without dysplasia. The study also revealed that the size of polyps is directly correlated with their path-morphological structures. In this study, two giant polyps were detected and then treated surgically, one patient had perforation after the polypectomy, and a surgical intervention immediately was performed upon him. During the colonoscopy, three patients had bleeding, hemoclip was applied to one of those patients, and sclerothreapy was performed upon the rest of two patients. After the polypectomy, in two patients, there was a feeling of pain, fever, discomfort in the abdomen, which was assessed as a "postpolypectomy" condition CONCLUSION: Also in our experience adenomatous polyps play a crucial role in the development of colorectal cancer. Therefore, it seems quite essential to avert colorectal cancers gradually. Colonoscopy is a non-invasive method of diagnosis and a treatment of colorectal polyps. Proper and careful colonoscopy examination is indispensable in the discovery of colorectal polyps and subsequent follow-up. Timely and routine colonoscopy is considered as an important approach for thwarting the development of malignant neoplasms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) has not undergone sufficient histopathological evaluation. This study aimed to clarify the histopathological features of CSP specimens, including resection depth and layer, as compared with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). METHODS Polyps were recruited retrospectively. Sessile, semi-pedunculated, and 0-IIa polyps of ≤ 9 mm were selected by propensity score matching and classified as either a complete resection or one with an unevaluable/positive (X/+) margin. Resection depth and layer were estimated and the risk factors for an X/+ margin were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 1072 polyps were enrolled. After matching, 184 polyp pairs were selected. An X/+ margin was seen in 105/184 (57%) vs. 70/184 (38%) CSP vs. EMR specimens (p < 0.001): specimen damage was 53/184 (29%) vs. 30/184 (16%) (p < 0.01) and vertical margin (VM) X/+ was 11/184 (6%) vs. 2/184 (1%) (p < 0.05). Among 193 completely resected specimens, resection depth from the muscularis mucosae in CSP vs. EMR was 76 vs. 338 µm (p < 0.001) and resection layer was the submucosa in 7/79 (9%) vs. 105/114 (92%) (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, CSP was a risk factor for procedure-associated VMX/+ [odds ratio (OR) 6.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33-34.69, p < 0.05]. Sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) was a risk factor for VMX/+ margin in CSP specimens (OR 58.36, 95% CI 7.45-456.96, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS SSA/P and colorectal cancer may not be suitable for CSP adoption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the different types of gastric polyps in the Daniel Alcides Carrión Hospital between the years of 2014 and 2016, and also define the endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of the lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 7559 endoscopic reports were reviewed, in which 148 gastric polyps were found. The patients age and sex as well as the localization, number, size and macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the polyps were recorded. RESULTS The prevalence of gastric polyps was 1.9%; 74.3% of these were found in women with an average age of 61.5 years. 59.4% of the gastric polyps found were singular, and the majority were located on the body and antrum of the stomach. 74.29% of the polyps were less than 1 cm in diameter and 83.64% of these were sessile when seen macroscopically. According to the histological type, it was found that the majority of gastric polyps were hyperplasic (76.4%), followed by fundic gland polyps (17.5%) and gastric adenomas (6.1%). It was also found that multiple gastric polyps were associated with fundic gland polyps while singular polyps were most likely hyperplastic or adenomas. CONCLUSION The prevalence of fundic gland polyps has increased, while the other types of polyps have maintained their estimated prevalence.

Abstract
Patients presenting with near-obstructing colon lesions requiring segmental colectomy may benefit from intraoperative colonoscopy (IOC) after primary anastomosis for a more timely and accurate diagnosis of synchronous lesions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of this technique. A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing single-stage segmental colectomy and anastomosis at a single tertiary care institution from 2011 to 2013 was performed. One Hundred and sixty-eight consecutive patients underwent segmental colectomy and primary anastomosis of which 78 (46%) were unable to receive preoperative colonoscopy (POC) because of near-obstructing lesions and received IOC after the anastomosis. IOC detected synchronous adenomatous polyps in 24.4 per cent, diverticular disease in 19 per cent, and colitis/proctitis in 2.5 per cent. The IOC group was not significantly different from the POC group with regard to overall morbidity (31% vs 39% P = 0.45), anastomotic leakage (1.3% vs 0%, P = 0.46), or wound infection (5.1% vs 1.1%, P = 0.18). Operation time was 19 minutes longer in the intraoperative group, but overall length of hospital stay was not significantly different (6.4 ± 2.9 days vs 7.3 ± 4.6 days). In patients unable to receive POC because of partial obstruction, IOC after primary anastomosis is both feasible and safe for detecting proximal synchronous lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A high rate of association between neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and secondary primary malignancy (SPM) has been described in literature and this association can occur either in a synchronous or a metachronous presentation. A wide range of hypothesis has been postulated to explain the high rate of association between NETs and SPM, without definitive conclusions. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of an ileal neuroendocrine tumor found incidentally at the histologic examination of the surgical specimen in a 72 years old male underwent to right hemi colectomy for two colic adenomatous polips with high grade dysplasia. CONCLUSION Large multicentric epidemiological studies should be considered to assess the association between NETs and SPM.

Abstract
Endoscopic surveillance after colorectal polypectomy These guidelines for endoscopic surveillance after colorectal polypectomy are based on the recommendations published by European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) in 2013. A precondition for the guidelines is that patients have undergone a high-quality colonoscopy, including complete removal and histopathological evaluation of all detected neoplastic lesions. Current research has made it possible to stratify patients into a low-risk and a high-risk group in terms of metachronous cancer. Low-risk group patients (1-2 tubular adenomas <10 mm in size) are recommended a surveillance colonoscopy 10 years after the index colonoscopy if the patient is less than 50 years old, otherwise not. High-risk group patients (adenomas with villous histology or high grade dysplasia or ≥10 mm in size, or ≥ 3 adenomas), should undergo a repetition colonoscopy 3 years after the index colonoscopy. If high-risk adenomas are detected at first or subsequent surveillance colonoscopy, a 3-year repetition of the next endoscopic examination is recommended. If a high-risk patient has no high-risk adenomas at the first surveillance colonoscopy, a 5-year period is recommended until the second surveillance colonoscopy. ESGE recommends termination of the follow-up at 80 years of age although individualised recommendations should consider general health and co-morbidity of the patients as well as findings at previous colonoscopies.

Abstract
Using narrow-band imaging (NBI), the micro morphology of polyp surfaces was visualized at high resolution when the contrast between the lesions and the surrounding tissue areas was intensified. The objective of the study was to compare NBI and conventional white light endoscopy (C-WLI) for diagnostic efficacy and treatment of children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), a rare autosomal dominant-genetic disease.We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 18 patients diagnosed with PJS and 72 diagnosed with juvenile polyps during the same time period. Endoscopy was used to observe the morphology of polyps, which were classified according to the Kudo pit pattern. Eighty-two and 76 polyps were resected using endoscopy from PJS and juvenile polyp patients, respectively, and pathologically examined for comparison with NBI or C-WLI endoscopic observations.With NBI, 57 (69.5%) type I, 10 (12.2%) type II, and 13 (15.9%) type III polyps were identified in 82 (100%) polyps excised from 18 PJS patients, whereas 69 (88.5%) type I, 5 (6.4%) type II and 4 (5.1%) type III were identified in 78 (100%) of polyps removed from 72 juvenile polyp patients. The combined ratios of types II and III were higher in PJS (28.1%) than in juvenile polyp patients (11.5%). Pathological diagnosis identified 69 of 82 PJS polyps as hamartoma and 13 as adenoma, whereas NBI detected 10 adenomas and C-WLI only 4. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of NBI in the diagnosis of adenoma were 76.9%, 97.1%, and 93.9%, respectively, whereas those of C-WLI were 30.8%, 94.2%, and 84.1%.NBI endoscopy had higher sensitivity and specificity than C-WLI for the diagnosis of adenomatous polyps and is recommended for the diagnosis, characterization, and resection of polyps in children with PJS.

Abstract
Missed polyps are frequently observed in surveillance colonoscopy or referral resection. We evaluated the polyp missing rate and its associated risk factors in patients who were referred to a tertiary hospital for endoscopic resection of advanced colorectal neoplasia.A total of 388 patients with advanced neoplasia who underwent colonoscopy in their referring hospitals and only endoscopic resection without total colonoscopy in Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital from 2009 to 2014 and who underwent surveillance colonoscopy within 6 to 12 months were retrospectively analyzed.The per-patient missing rate for polyps, adenomas, and advanced neoplasia in referring hospital were 58.2% (226 cases), 47.2% (183 cases), and 5.7% (22 cases), respectively. The advanced neoplasia in surveillance colonoscopy comprised the following: ≥1 cm lesions (11 cases, 50%), high-grade dysplasia (4 cases, 18.2%), villous adenoma (4 cases, 18.2%), and invasive cancer (3 cases, 13.6%). Risk factors for missed adenomas in multivariate analysis were ≥60 years (P = .004), male (P <.001), and no usage of the cap-assisted colonoscopy (P = .015). Missed polyps/adenomas were most frequent in the ascending colon (P <.001).The missing rate for polyps/adenomas of referring hospitals was higher than expected. Especially, patients with old age or male, or no usage of cap-assisted colonoscopy on initial colonoscopy were at increased risk of missed adenoma. Careful complete colonoscopy during referral resection or early surveillance colonoscopy is mandatory in the patients with advanced colorectal neoplasia and unknown-quality index colonoscopy.

Abstract
There were analyzed the results of treatment of 1450 patients, to whom in surgical departments of Lugansk Regional Clinical Hospital the elective endoscopic polypectomy for solitary and multiple gastric polyps, premalignant changes, was conducted. The unfavorable prognosis signs, trustworthily impacting the gastric polyps reoccurring, were considered: quantity of gastric polyps, their dimensions, localization and presence of mucosal erosions. Reoccurrence of majority of the polyps in gastric antrum may be due to microcirculatory disorders, present in their mucosa.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colorectal polyps are structures that project from the surface of the mucosal layer of the large intestine. They are classified as neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Early detection of pre-neoplastic lesions is important for preventing colorectal cancer. These can be resected so as to decrease the morbidity and mortality rates. Colonoscopy is the gold-standard procedure for diagnosing and resecting precursor lesions. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the epidemiological, endoscopic and histological aspects of endoscopic resection of lesions of the colon and rectum at a training center. MATERIALS AND METHOD A search was conducted in the database of our institution covering the period from January 2011 to July 2014. Cases that underwent endoscopic resection of polyps and/or colorectal lesions were selection. The following variables were defined: general data on the patients (age, gender and indication from the examination) and data on the polypoid lesion (number, histological type and topographic distribution). RESULTS 678 lesions were identified in 456 examinations. Regarding sex, 242 (53.1%) were female and 214 (46.9%) were male. The mean age was 64.54 years, with extremes of 5 and 94 years. The most frequent locations were the rectum (21%) and sigmoid (20%). Histologically, 34.7% were hyperplastic polyps and 58.9% were adenomatous polyps, of which 74.1% were tubular, 10.6% tubulovillous, 2% villous and 13% indeterminate; and 1.7% were adenocarcinomas. In 65.4% of the cases, the examination showed that only one polyps was present, while 34.6% had two or more lesions. CONCLUSION In our clinic, with a mean of 250 examinations/month, the parameters evaluated were compatible with the results reported in the literature.

Abstract
Incidence of cancer recti (CR)in Ukraine constitutes 38 in 100 thousands of population. There are two main trends in surgical treatment of precancerous states and early stage CR: radical rectal resection and local transanal excision of the affection zone. After a single—port procedure introduction into laparoscopic surgery the alternative method of rectal tumors resection have had evolved — a transanal minimally invasive surgery with single—port (TAMIS). In the clinic the TAMIS procedure was applied in 3 patients for adenomatous rectal polyps. Оperative intervention was done using transanal videoen' doscopic excision of villous rectal tumor. First experience of application of TAMIS wit' nessed the method efficacy, its relatively low cost and low risk of complications occur' rence. Application of this adopted procedure contributes for improvement of the treat' ment results in rectal tumors.

Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy specimens are increasingly common surgical specimens received for examination following bariatric surgery for weight loss. The spectrum of pathological changes seen in these cases is not well documented. Retrospective examination was undertaken of 1463 consecutive sleeve gastrectomy specimens received at Envoi Specialist Pathologists. Most cases showed no pathological changes (80.2%). The most common changes seen were non-specific, non-Helicobacter associated chronic gastritis (7.2%), Helicobacter associated gastritis (6.8%) and benign fundic gland polyps (4.0%). Other, rarer changes were lymphocytic gastritis, autoimmune atrophic gastritis, chronic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia, hyperplastic polyps, pancreatic heterotopia, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) and a leiomyoma. A wide range of pathological changes are seen in resection specimens following sleeve gastrectomies for weight loss. Many cases will require further treatment or ongoing investigation and surveillance.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. The identification of colonic polyps can reduce CRC mortality through earlier diagnosis of cancers and the removal of polyps: the precursor lesion of CRC. Following the finding and removal of colonic polyps at an initial colonoscopy, some patients are at an increased risk of developing CRC in the future. This is the rationale for post-polypectomy surveillance colonoscopy. However, not all individuals found to have colonic adenomas have a risk of CRC higher than that of the general population. This review examines the literature on post-polypectomy surveillance including current international clinical guidelines. The potential benefits of surveillance procedures must be weighed against the burden of colonoscopy: resource use, the potential for patient discomfort, and the risk of complications. Therefore surveillance colonoscopy is best utilised in a selected group of individuals at a high risk of developing cancer. Further study is needed into the specific factors conferring higher risk as well as the efficacy of surveillance in mitigating this risk. Such evidence will better inform clinicians and patients of the relative benefits of colonoscopic surveillance for the individual. In addition, the decision to continue with surveillance must be informed by the changing profile of risks and benefits of further procedures with the patient’s advancing age.

Abstract
Duodenal polyps or lesions are uncommonly found on upper endoscopy. Duodenal lesions can be categorized as subepithelial or mucosally-based, and the type of lesion often dictates the work-up and possible therapeutic options. Subepithelial lesions that can arise in the duodenum include lipomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and carcinoids. Endoscopic ultrasonography with fine needle aspiration is useful in the characterization and diagnosis of subepithelial lesions. Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors and large or multifocal carcinoids are best managed by surgical resection. Brunner's gland tumors, solitary Peutz-Jeghers polyps, and non-ampullary and ampullary adenomas are mucosally-based duodenal lesions, which can require removal and are typically amenable to endoscopic resection. Several anatomic characteristics of the duodenum make endoscopic resection of duodenal lesions challenging. However, advanced endoscopic techniques exist that enable the resection of large mucosally-based duodenal lesions. Endoscopic papillectomy is not without risk, but this procedure can effectively resect ampullary adenomas and allows patients to avoid surgery, which typically involves pancreaticoduodenectomy. Endoscopic mucosal resection and its variations (such as cap-assisted, cap-band-assisted, and underwater techniques) enable the safe and effective resection of most duodenal adenomas. Endoscopic submucosal dissection is possible but very difficult to safely perform in the duodenum.

Abstract
PURPOSE Colonoscopic polypectomy and surveillance are important to prevent colorectal cancer and identify additional relative risk factors for adequate surveillance. In this study, we evaluated risk factors related to recurrent high-risk polyps during the surveillance of patients with high-risk polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 434 patients who had high-risk polyps (adenoma≥10 mm, ≥3 adenomas, villous histology, or high-grade dysplasia) on the baseline colonoscopy and underwent at least one surveillance colonoscopy from 2005 to 2011 at Severance Hospital. Data regarding patient characteristics, bowel preparation and polyp size, location, number, and pathological diagnosis were retrospectively collected from medical records. Patients with recurrent high-risk polyps were compared with patients with low-risk or no polyps during surveillance. RESULTS Patients were predominantly male (77.4%), with a mean age of 61.0±8.6 years and mean follow-up of 1.5±0.8 years. High-risk polyps recurred during surveillance colonoscopy in 51 (11.8%) patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that male gender, poor bowel preparation, and a larger number of adenomas were independent risk factors for recurrent high-risk polyps (p=0.047, 0.01, and <0.001, respectively). Compared with high-risk polyps found during initial colonoscopy, high-risk polyps on surveillance colonoscopy had higher proportions of small adenomas, low-risk pathology, and fewer adenomas overall, but there was no difference in location. CONCLUSION Male patients and those with poor bowel preparation for colonoscopy or higher numbers of adenomas were more likely to experience recurrent high-risk polyps.

METHODS: A total of 157902 consecutive patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) from 2004 to 2013 in a tertiary hospital were retrospectively reviewed using an EGD database. Endoscopic records of 4043 patients diagnosed with gastric polyps were recalled for analysis. Data including demographics, information on polyps such as location, pathological diagnosis, reflux esophagitis and Helicobacter pylori infection were obtained. We focused on epithelial polyps, especially hyperplastic polyps, fundic gland polyps and adenomas, and histological classification of specimens from biopsy and endoscopic polypectomy was performed by professional pathologists, based on the updated guidelines. To explore the age distribution of gastric polyps over time, we divided patients with polyps into four groups: A (aged < 30 years), B (aged 30-44 years), C (aged 45-59 years) and D (aged > 60 years). Differences in localization, age, and sex distribution of gastric polyps were analyzed by statistical software.
RESULTS: A total of 157902 EGD procedures were performed in ten years at our digestive endoscopy center, of which 4043 cases were diagnosed with gastric polyps confirmed by pathology. There were 2574 (63%) female and 1469 (37%) male patients with an average age of 54.7 years. The overall prevalence of gastric polyps was 2.6% (4043/157902). Our database demonstrated a rising prevalence of gastric polyps over the decade, increasing from 1.0% (80/8025) to 4.70% (828/17787) between 2004 and 2013. There has been a change in the spectrum of gastric polyps with the frequencies of FGPs increasing from 19% (15/80) to 77% (638/828) and hyperplastic polyps decreasing from 65% (52/80) to 15% (123/828). Moreover, data on 1921 polyps in 828 patients diagnosed with gastric polyps in 2013 showed that FGP was the most common type in the current polyp spectrum, making up 81.3% (1562/1921). Location and age distribution of gastric polyps have also altered. The prevalence of polyps located in the antrum decreased from 37.5% (30/80) to 9.30% (77/828), with an increasing prevalence of polyps in the corpus, from 45% (36/80) to 64.25% (532/828). The constituent ratio of older patients (aged > 60 years) in the polyp population decreased from 62.5% (50/80) to 32.13% (266/828), while that of patients aged 45-60 years showed an increased trend.
CONCLUSION: There was a shift change in the spectrum of gastric polyps in the Chinese population with altered location and age distribution in the past ten years.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the expression and oncogenic role of nemo-like kinase (NLK) in colorectal cancer.
METHODS: Expression of NLK protein was assessed by immunohistochemistry in tissue specimens from 56 cases of normal colorectal mucosa, 51 cases of colorectal adenoma, and 712 cases of colorectal cancer. In addition, NLK expression was knocked down using a lentivirus carrying NLK small hairpin RNA in colorectal cancer cells. Cell viability methylthiazoletetrazolium assays, colony formation assays, flow cytometry cell cycle assays, Transwell migration assays, and gene expression assays were performed to explore its role on proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer.
RESULTS: Expression of NLK protein progressively increased in tissues from the normal mucosa through adenoma to various stages of colorectal cancer. Overexpression of NLK protein was associated with advanced tumor-lymph node-metastasis stages, poor differentiation, lymph node and distant metastases, and a higher recurrence rate of colorectal cancer (P < 0.05). Multivariate analyses showed that NLK expression was an independent prognostic factor to predict overall survival (hazard ratio 2.57, 95% confidence interval: 1.66-3.98; P < 0.001) and disease-free survival (hazard ratio 1.96, 95% confidence interval: 1.40-2.74: P < 0.001) of colorectal cancer patients. Furthermore, knockdown of NLK expression in colorectal cancer cell lines reduced cell viability, colony formation, and migration, and arrested tumor cells at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. At the gene level, knockdown of NLK expression inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression in colorectal cancer cells.
CONCLUSION: NLK overexpression is an independent prognostic factor in colorectal cancer and knockdown of NLK expression inhibits colorectal cancer progression and metastasis.

Abstract
A patient who was diagnosed as rectal polyps in the local hospital went to our hospital for surgical treatment. Abdominal CT demonstrated a large irregular extra-luminal tumor of at least 5 cm cross-section on the ventral side of the lower rectal wall. Intraoperatively, a large irregular extra-luminal tumor (about 5×4.5×4 cm) was found. Anterior resection with end colostomy and rectal stump (Hartmann's procedure) was performed. Postoperative histological examination showed simultaneous development of rectal GIST and polyps.

Abstract
Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital pure red cell aplasia mainly caused by a mutation in ribosomal protein genes. One of the proposed mechanisms for red cell aplasia in DBA is apoptosis caused by constitutive activation of tumor suppressor TP53 protein following defective ribosome biogenesis. Because of this close relationship between ribosome biogenesis and TP53 activation, patients with DBA are considered to be cancer-prone. The association between bone marrow failure and tumor susceptibility in DBA appears paradoxical. Also, the detailed information is lacking on malignancy occurring in patients with DBA. Here, we report a case of a 16-year-old Japanese boy suffering from multiple colon tumors during the follow-up after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for DBA at the age of 4. Well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma was detected at the rectum 12 years after the transplantation, followed by multiple tubular adenomas of low to high grade throughout the colon. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed for these tumors and the lesions were completely resected. These tumors did not show diffuse and strong TP53 positivity by immunohistochemistry, suggesting that TP53 mutation was not involved in the tumorigenesis as observed in conventional colorectal cancers. Microsatellite instability test and immunohistochemical examination of β-catenin and MLH1 proteins of these tumors showed that WNT signaling or microsatellite instability was less likely to be involved in the present tumors as observed in conventional left-sided or right-sided colon cancers, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of colon tumors associated with DBA.

Abstract
We experienced an extremely rare case of gastric hyperplastic polyp with xanthoma. A 73-year-old Japanese man was transferred to our hospital from a referral hospital for further evaluation of a pedunculated gastric polyp and early gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a yellow-whitish pedunculated polyp arising from the anterior wall of the fornix. Magnification narrow-band imaging (NBI) endoscopy revealed extended and tortuous microcapillaries and a swollen interfoveolar pattern on the polyp's surface, but there was no sign of malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed an irregularity of the first layer and a thickened second layer. The third layer was intact. A hyperechoic area was seen in the thickened second layer. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early carcinoma of the antrum and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for a polyp in the fornix were performed in one session. Histological examination of the specimen of the fornix polyp revealed lengthened, branched and dilatated gastric foveolae and a tight sheet of foamy histiocytes in the stroma. The background mucosa of the polyp was atrophic. The pathologic evidence was gastric hyperplastic polyp with proliferation of xanthoma. The early cancer of the antrum was intramucosal tubular adenocarcinoma and was resected curatively.

Abstract
In recent years, a second pathway for colonic carcinogenesis, distinct from the adenomatous pathway, has been explored. This is referred to as serrated pathway and includes three types of polyp, characterised by a serrated appearance of the crypts: hyperplastic polyps (HP), sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) or lesions, and traditional serrated adenomas. Each lesion has its own genetic, as well as macroscopic and microscopic morphological features. Because of their flat aspect, their detection is easier with chromoendoscopy (carmin indigo or narrow-band imaging). However, as we show in this review, the distinction between SSA and HP is quite difficult. It is now recommended to resect in one piece as it is possible the serrated polyps with a control in a delay depending on the presence or not of dysplasia. These different types of lesion are described in detail in the present review in general population, in polyposis and in inflammatory bowel diseases patients. This review highlights the need to improve characterization and understanding of this way of colorectal cancerogenesis.

Abstract
AIM: To assess the accuracy of polyp size using an endoscopic lesion measurement system (ELMS).
METHODS: The accuracy of polyp size assessment was compared among measurements acquired by visual estimation, disposable graduated biopsy forceps (DGBF; used as a “scale-plate”) and the ELMS.
RESULTS: There were 192 polyps from 166 cases included in this study. The mean diameter of the post polypectomy measurement was 0.85 ± 0.53 cm (range: 0.2-3.0 cm). The mean diameter by visual estimation was 1.10 ± 0.53 cm, which was significantly different compared to the actual size of the polyp (P < 0.001). The mean diameters obtained using DGBF (0.87 ± 0.54 cm) and ELMS (0.85 ± 0.53 cm) did not significantly differ from the actual size of the polyp. The difference between the measurements from the ELMS and DGBF was not significant.
CONCLUSION: Unlike visual estimations at colonoscopy, endoscopic graduated biopsy forceps and the endoscopic lesion measurement system are accurate methods to estimate polyp size.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We know the significance of adenomas about the risk of neoplastic transformation defined as adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Although the majority of adenomas removed are small, it is well recognized that the risk of malignant transformation increases with an increased adenoma size. The term "malignant polyp" refers to an adenoma that macroscopically appears benign, but in which there is an invasion of malignant neoplastic cells within the submucosa through the muscularis mucosae. Malignant Polyps are substantially adenocarcinomas at an early stage; it is estimated that they represent the 0.75-5.6% of all adenomas removed during endoscopic exams. The management of a malignant polyp, diagnosed after an endoscopic removal, is complicated because the presence of residual malignant cells is a possibility. Also the presence of regional lymph nodes metastasis is different in literature and related to different prognostic factors. In this review we will analyze the incidence, the most appropriate methods of diagnosis, the biological parameters that characterize the various classes of risk of malignant polyps, in order to choice a correct treatment. The goal should be the improvement of the survival rate, decreasing the likelihood of residual disease evaluating the risk of overtreatment. KEY WORDS Adenoma, Adenoma-carcinoma, "Malignant polyp".

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis is associated with a high incidence of malignancies in the upper gastrointestinal tract (particularly ampullary adenocarcinomas). However, few reports have described a correlation between familial adenomatous polyposis and gallbladder neoplasms. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman with familial adenomatous polyposis who presented with an elevated mass in the neck of the gallbladder (measuring 16 mm × 8 mm in diameter) and multiple small cholecystic polyps. She had undergone a total colectomy for ascending colon cancer associated with familial adenomatous polyposis 22 years previously. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under a preoperative diagnosis of multifocal gallbladder polyps. Pathologic examination of the resected gallbladder revealed more than 70 adenomatous lesions, a feature consistent with adenoma of the gallbladder. This case suggests a requirement for long-term surveillance of the biliary system in addition to the gastrointestinal tract in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.

Abstract
The patient was a 48-year-old woman who was diagnosed with early gastric cancer during a long-term follow-up period for Gardner syndrome. Subtotal colectomy for colon leiomyoma was performed when the patient was 22 years old. Partial resection of the ileum was performed for ileum leiomyoma at the age of 27. Total resection of the remaining colon with ileostomy was performed for a pelvic desmoid tumor at the age of 40. In addition, resection of a desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall was performed 8 times in the 25 years since the first operation. During the follow-up for gastric polyps associated with Gardner syndrome, gastric cancer was detected from biopsy specimens of a wide range of the fundus polyps. Endoscopic resection was considered not to be applicable because of the extensive nature of the lesion. Total gastrectomy was also considered not to be applicable because of concerns about short bowel syndrome due to intestinal reconstruction. Therefore, proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastric anastomosis was performed. The pathological diagnosis was 0-IIa, 70 × 44 mm, tub1, m, ly0, v0, n0, PM (-), DM (-), stageIA. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 16. We speculate that long-term survival of patients with Gardner syndrome without severe short bowel syndrome might result in carcinogenesis of gastric polyps.

Abstract
Gastric hamartomatous inverted polyps (GHIP) are difficult to diagnose accurately because of inversion into the submucosal layer. GHIP are diagnosed using the pathological characteristics of the tumor, including the fibroblast cells, smooth muscle, nerve components, glandular hyperplasia, and cystic gland dilatation. Although Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis, and Cowden disease are hereditary, it is rare to encounter 2 cases of monostotic and asymptomatic gastric hamartomas. The pathogeneses of hamartomatous inverted polyps and inverted hyperplastic polyps remain controversial because of the paucity of reported cases. There are 3 hypotheses regarding the pathogenesis of complete gastric inverted polyps. Based on our experience with 2 successive, rare GHIP cases, we affirm the hypothesis that after a hamartomatous change occurs in the submucosal layer, some of these components are exposed to the gastric mucosa and, consequently, form a hypertrophic lesion. In Case 1, our hypothesis explains why a tiny hypertrophic change was first detected on the top of the submucosal tumor using a detailed narrow band imaging-magnified endoscopy. There was no confirmation that the milky white mucous and calcification structures were exuding directly from the biopsy site like Case 1, and in Case 2 the presence of this mucous was indirectly confirmed during an endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Regarding the pathogenesis of GHIP, a submucosal hamartomatous change may occur prior to the growth of hypertrophic portions. An en bloc resection using ESD is recommended for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As screening colonoscopy becomes more widespread, the costs for histopathological assessment of resected polyps are rising correspondingly. Reference centres have published highly accurate results for endoscopic polyp classification. Therefore, it has been proposed that, for smaller polyps, the differential diagnosis that guides follow-up recommendations could be based on endoscopy alone. OBJECTIVE The aim was to prospectively assess whether the high accuracy for endoscopic polyp diagnosis as reported by reference centres can be reproduced in routine screening colonoscopy. DESIGN Ten experienced private practice endoscopists had initial training in pit patterns. Then they assessed all polyps detected during 1069 screening colonoscopies. Patients (46% men; mean age 63 years) were randomly assigned to colonoscopy with conventional or latest generation HDTV instruments. The main outcome measure was diagnostic accuracy of in vivo polyp assessment (adenomatous vs hyperplastic). Secondary outcome measures were differences between endoscopes and reliability of image-based follow-up recommendations; a blinded post hoc analysis of polyp photographs was also performed. RESULTS 675 polyps were assessed (461 adenomatous, 214 hyperplastic). Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of in vivo diagnoses were 76.6%, 78.1% and 73.4%; size of adenomas and endoscope withdrawal time significantly influenced accuracy. Image-based recommendations for post-polypectomy surveillance were correct in only 69.5% of cases. Post hoc analysis of polyp photographs did not improve accuracy. CONCLUSIONS In everyday practice, endoscopic classification of polyp type is not accurate enough to abandon histopathological assessment and use of latest generation colonoscopes does not improve this. Image-based surveillance recommendations after polypectomy would consequently not meet guideline requirements. TRIALREGNO NCT01297712.

Abstract
A 70-year-old man with a gastric lesion was referred to our hospital because of an unusual pedunculated lesion in the gastric body. Endoscopic ultrasound showed scattered cystic lesions within a heterogeneous area confined to the submucosal layer. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed to obtain a precise diagnosis, as well as for removal. The lesion was histopathologically diagnosed as a heterotopic submucosal gland. We herein describe this rare type of gastric polyp and provide a literature review.
