TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the correlation between the total tumor load (TTL) in LNs from CRC surgical specimens with patient outcome, TB, and poorly differentiated clusters (PDCs) are associated with LN metastases, recurrences, and lower survival in CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vleugels,E. Dekker +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated Linked Colour Imaging (LCI), an image-enhancing technique, as compared with high-definition white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) for the detection of polyps in this patient group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serrated Polyps and Serrated Polyposis Syndrome
TL;DR: Current evidence indicates that these lesions should be resected completely, and the patient requires an endoscopic surveillance program for serrated polyposis syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
TFAP2E Methylation and Expression Status Does Not Predict Response to 5-FU-based Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: TFAP2E methylation and expression may not play a major role in predicting response to 5-FU–based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer, and this large, systematic, and comprehensive study indicates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telomerase mRNA expression and immunohistochemical detection as a biomarker of malignant transformation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: The observation that patients at high risk for colorectal cancer because of long-standing inflammatory bowel disease overexpress hTERT mRNA in non-affected coloreCTal mucosa suggests its potential usefulness as a biomarker of the risk of malignant transformation.
