Predictive Value of Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Symptomatic Patients without Colorectal Cancer: A Post-Hoc Analysis within the COLONPREDICT Cohort
(MDPI, 2020-12-02)
We aimed to assess the risk of cancer in patients with abdominal symptoms after a complete colonoscopy without colorectal cancer (CRC), according to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentration, as well as its diagnostic ...
Risk of gastrointestinal cancer in a symptomatic cohort after a complete colonoscopy: role of faecal immunochemical test
(Baishideng Publishing, 2020-01-07)
BACKGROUND
Faecal immunochemical test (FIT) has been recommended to assess symptomatic patients for colorectal cancer (CRC) detection. Nevertheless, some conditions could theoretically favour blood originating in proximal ...
Colorectal Cancer Genetic Variants Are Also Associated with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Susceptibility
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-10)
Background Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a clinical entity characterised by large and/ormultiple serrated polyps throughout the colon and increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The basis for SPS genetic ...
Identification of a Novel Candidate Gene for Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Germline Predisposition by Performing Linkage Analysis Combined With Whole-Exome Sequencing
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019-09-19)
OBJECTIVES: Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a complex disorder with a high risk of colorectal cancer for which the germline factors remain largely unknown. Here, we combined whole-exome sequencing (WES) and linkage ...
