  • Article: [Pit pattern and endoscopic mucosal resection in diagnosis and treatment of colorectal tumors].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: To explore the effective methods to diagnose and treat colorectal cancer in its early stage. 1 205 patients were examined by colonoscopy and mucosa staining with indigocarmine. The pit patterns were observed with magnifying endoscope and stereomicroscope according to the Kudo classification. The pathological diagnoses of the lesions were compared with their pit patterns. Electrocoagulation resection was performed on the prominent lesions and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic partial mucosal resection (EPMR) was performed on the flat lesions. In the 282 patients 478 prominent and flat lesions were found. There were 16 cases of laterally spreading tumor (LST), including I case of pit pattern II, 6 of pit pattern IIIL, 8 of pit pattern IV, and 1 of pit pattern Va, with 2 cases of intramembrane cancer and 1 case of IIa + IIc lesions invading the superficial myometrium among them. EMR and EPMR were performed on 14 LST lesions, 22 IIa lesions, and 14 IIb lesions. The examination of pit pattern is very important in early diagnosis of colorectal cancer and differentiation tumorous from non-tumorous lesions. V type pit pattern is an indicator of colorectal cancer. EMR and EPMR are safe and effective for flat lesions.

  • Article: [Serrated adenoma of large intestine: report of 7 cases].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: From December 2000 to April 2001, 859 patients were examined with coloscopy in our endoscopy centre and 188 cases of adenoma were diagnosed. Among the 188 patients, 7 were found with serrated adenoma that had been confirmed pathologically, including 6 male and 1 female patients, aged 32 to 53 with an average of 44.7 years. All the 7 cases were identified as having single focal lesion, among which 3 were found in the rectum, 1 in the transverse colon, 2 in the ascending colon and 1 in the cecum. The diameter of the lesions ranged from 8 to 27 mm with an average of 15.4 mm.

  • Article: [The diagnosis and treatment of 25 cases of laterally spreading tumor of the large intestine].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Laterally spreading tumor (LST) originates from the large intestine mucosa with prominent lesions that mainly extend laterally other than vertically. The pathological morphology and evolvement of this disease distinguish itself from other adenomas, and its close association with colorectal cancer has been noted. Up till now, no report on LST involving the large intestine has been available in China, therefore we presently report our experience in the diagnoses and treatment of 25 LST patients (26 lesions) identified with conventional endoscopy and mucosa staining during the period from Nov, 2000 to Oct, 2001. Among the 26 lesions, 11 were classified into granular homogeneous type, 15 into nodular mixed type, and 3 patients were found to have intramucosa carcinoma and 2 serrated adenoma. The biggest lesion was 60 mmx70 mm, the smallest being 11 mmx12 mm, and 6 lesions were within the range of 11 to 20 mm, 9 within 21 to 30 mm with the rest 11 lesions exceeding 31 mm in diameter. Type IV pit pattern was predominant in the the 26 lesions, accounting for a proportion of 61.54% (16/26). Two lesions with V(A) pit pattern and 1 with IV pattern were pathologically diagnosed to be intramucosa carcinoma, and 8 with type III(L) pit pattern were tubulovillous adenoma. Immediate or elective endoscopic mucosa resection or partitioned mucosa resection was performed in the 25 cases without incidences of the complications as bleeding or perforation.

  • Article: [Comparison of curative effect for colon flat lesion between mucosa resection and fulguration with high frequency current after mucosa staining under magnifying endoscope].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: To observe the relationship between the pit patterns and pathology and compare the curative effect for colon flat lesion between endoscopic mucosa resection (EMR) and fulguration with high frequency current (FHFC). They were divided to two groups. There were 37 cases for FHFC in group A, and 34 cases for EMR in Group B. The two groups were comparabal. Examining patients suffering with colon flat lesions with magnifying endoscope and observing the pit patterns of mucosa after staining with indicarmine. The pit patterns of inflammatory or hyperplastic lesions were mainly pit II, adenoma pit III and pit IV, and carcinomatous lesions pit IV and pit V. The worse the differentiation degree of lesions was, the higher the pit patterns were. There were no difference (P > 0.05) between group A and B in complication and quantity, classification and distribution of lesions. No canceration was detected in 21 cases with adenoma in group A, while 4 cases of canceration (all were adenocacinoma) was found in 20 cases whith adenoma in group B. There was significance in canceration between two groups (P < 0.05). The worse the differentiation degree of lesions was, the higher pit patterns were. EMR and FHFC share the same validity and security when treating the flat lesions, but by EMR, doctors could judge whether the lesions were resected completely, once the remained lesions were found, they could be resected immediately again lesion in case of omission of canceration.
