• Third most common cancer in USA- 131,607 new cases/year (2012) 67,700
men, 63907 women• Second Leading cause of cancer
death in men and women- 51,690 deaths (2012)
• Average patient CRC death- Losses 13 years of life
• A person at age of 50 has about - 5 % lifetime risk- 2.5% CRC death rate

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
• 35% of all cancers are attributable to diet
• 50%-75% of CRC in the US may be preventable through dietary modifications
• You are what you EAT• When, what ,where, how, how much to
eat ?• You can,t change your genetic makeup

Chemo-Prevention
• Above age 50 ,Healthy ,without risk of GI Bleeding
• Aspirin 75 , 80 , 100 mg / day • Many years before benefit • High risk of bleeding- Hx of PUD, NSAID,S• Antiplatelet meds • Steroids • Age >65

Benefits of Screening
Cancer Prevention• Removal of pre-cancerous polyps to prevent cancer(unique aspect of colon cancer screening)
Improved survival• Early detection markedly improves chancesof long-term survival
Largest reduction in mortality during the 10 yrs after screeningComes from detection and removal of early stage cancer
Annual FOBT reduces CRC mortality and incidence by 30%FS has also shown the same benefit
Colonoscopy reduces mortality by 60-70% ( RCTs Awaiting)
100% Adherence to same regimen is equally effective

Colorectal Screening Rates
Just 40% of colorectal cancers are detectedat the earliest stage.
A little more than half * of Americans overage 50 report having had a recent colorectalcancer screening testSlow but steady improvement in these numbersover the past decade (but all are not benefitingto the same degree)
*varies based on data source
![Page 43: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Colorectal Screening Rates Low:Reasons (according to Patients)
Low awareness of CRC as a personal health threat
Lack of knowledge of screening benefits
Fear, embarrassment, discomfort
Time
Cost
Access
“My doctor never talked to me about it!”
22 million people not up-to-date with screening

CT Colonography
Rationale Allows detailed evaluation of the entire colon
A number of studies have demonstrated a highlevel of sensitivity for cancer and large polyps
Minimally invasive (rectal tube for air insufflation)
No sedation required
![Page 46: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
CT Colonography
Limitations
Requires full bowel prep (which most patients findto be the most distressing part of colonoscopy)
Colonoscopy is required if abnormalities are detected,sometimes necessitating a second bowel prep
Steep learning curve for radiologists
Limited availability to high quality exams in manyparts of the country
Most insurers do not currently cover CTC asa screening modality

CT Colonography
Limitations
Extra-colonic findings can lead to additional testing(may have both positive and negative connotations)
Questions regarding:
Significance of radiation exposure
Management of small polyps

Quality Colonoscopy • An effort to make Colonoscopy less variable
through a process of measurement, education & performance enhancement
• Adenoma Detection Rate( ADR)• Withdrawal time• Cecal Intubation Rate ( CIR)• Adherence to screening / surveillance intervals• Prep quality to see polyp 6 mm & >
![Page 55: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
ADR• 1% increase in ADR = 3 % reduction in CRC
incidence / 5% reduction in mortality• Simple act of measurement improved ADR• ASGE-maintain passport• ADR= protection against CRC• Education• Withdrawal technique• Technical advances and devices
![Page 56: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
ADR • High ADR= Better cleared at first
colonoscopy=Shorter interval ( double protection)
• Low ADR= Not effectively cleared= Longer interval ( double lack of protection)
• 3 or > Adenoma( 1 cm/ >) ,f/u exam at 1 yr• Future--Incentive to achieve high ADR/ allow
longer interval = Improve cost-effectiveness

Research suggests that these declines are due in large part to:
•Screening and polyp removal, preventing progression of polyps to invasive cancers
•Screening detecting cancers at earlier, more treatable Stages
•CRC treatment advances

Endoscopic Removal of Large Colon Polyps
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR)
Endoscopic Submucosal dissection (ESD)
- ESD is a variant of EMR in which a specialized needle knife is used to dissect lesions from the submucosa. The advantage of ESD is that it often permits removal of large sessile polyps en bloc (eg. in one piece), whereas EMR often removes the polyp piecemeal.

Polypectomy Risks
Removal of large colon polyps during endoscopy is associated with various risk, including:
- Perforation- Bleeding- Post Polypectomy Syndrome- Inadequate Polypectomy
![Page 74: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Non Invasive PolypLarge polyps may contain cancer that is completely contained within the polyp.In these cases, polypectomy is considered curative, provided:
- The cancer is completely contained within the resected tissue - No lymphovascular invasion- Resection margins are free of cancer
![Page 75: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Invasive polyps features that suggest the presence of malignancy include:
- Friability- Induration- Ulceration- Smooth velvety surface (e.g. non-granular laterally spreading tumor in the Rt colon)- Non lifting sign
Invasive Polyp
![Page 76: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Endoscopic Ultrasound Role (EUS)
EUS can be used to assess invasive polyps features, especially sessile lesions in the rectum, such as:
- Sub-mucosal invasion- Enlarged Lymph nodes
Conventional EUS vs High frequency Mini-probes through the biopsy channel of the colonoscope to visualize the entire colon
![Page 77: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Polyp size and location- Unusually large polyps ( >10 cm or with circumferential growth ) are not a contraindication for endoscopic polypectomy.
- Such polyps may require multiple sessions for removal and subsequent surveillance is mandatory
- These considerations should be explained to the patient prior to embarking on a course of endoscopic resection
![Page 78: Colon cancer awareness](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ecd37f1a28abc6268b459b/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Patient Preparation
- The preparation for endoscopic removal of large colon polyps is the same as that for routine colonoscopy and includes dietary changes and consumption of a bowel preparation.
- Polypectomy is a high-risk procedure with regard to bleeding
- Patient taking antiplatelets and anticoagulants will need to stop the medication
- Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended for polypectomy

Equipment
In addition to the standard endoscopic equipment, additional equipment that may be used for the removal of large colon polyps includes:
●Polypectomy snares●Electrosurgical generators●Injection needles●Saline or hyaluronic acid●Methylene blue or indigo carminedye for staining●India ink or other dye for tattooing●Retrieval nets●Hemoclips●Nylon loops●Argon plasma coagulation probes●Argon gas●Needle knivesAll of the devices used can pass through the working channel of a standard endoscope.

Submucosal Injecion-Injection of saline or an alternative substance into the submucosa below the polyp raises the polyp on a cushion of fluid, facilitating endoscopic resection and potentially decreasing the risk of perforation during subsequent snare excision
-A problem with saline injection is that it is rapidly absorbed. As a result, alternative agents that are not as rapidly absorbed have been studied (with and without epinephrine), including hyaluronic acid, dextrose solutions, succinylated gelatin, and hydroxyethyl starch

Technique
There are two primary goals of colonic polypectomy:
- Complete remove of all neoplastic tissue.
- Retrieval of all tissue sample
Only complete excision of the polyp permits accurate histologic diagnosis

Surgical RemovalHISTOLOGY (Invasive Polyp), SIZE, LOCATION
- Size: Polyp ≥2.0 cm in their greatest dimension, eg. large sessile polyp
- Difficult location, eg. Cecum
- Saddle polyp:
Figure: Supine double-contrast barium enema spot image shows a semiannular “saddle” carcinoma. This lesion in the transverse colon manifests as two convex, barium-etched lines (arrows) that represent the edges of the lesion, which straddles one-half of the circumference of the bowel.

Surgical RemovalSurgery may be a better option for patients with:
- Polyps that occupy more than 1/3 of the circumference of the colon wall- Presence of two cross haustral folds- Polyps involving the base of the appendix- Multiple large polyps in the right colon - Patients with uncontrollable bleeding disorders
