2022, Journal of Biological ChemistryIncreased risk of advanced neoplasms among asymptomatic siblings of patients with colorectal cancer
2013, GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :The use of such a control group avoids a biased estimate of the association with family history, and removes the acquired or environmental component to this association.12 Earlier studies mostly have included consecutive patients who had undergone colonoscopy as controls11,23; some of these controls had presented with bowel symptoms and may not represent a satisfactory control population. Furthermore, the findings in control subjects were fully validated using a colonoscopy.
Are Colorectal Cancer Screening Recommendations for First-Degree Relatives of Patients With Adenomas Too Aggressive?
2011, Clinical Gastroenterology and HepatologyCitation Excerpt :The association of CRC in FDRs of those with adenomas is largely based on case-control studies in which adenoma cases (detected during colonoscopy) were surveyed as to whether any of their FDRs had CRC. A majority of the published studies support the finding that patients with 1 or more adenomas are more likely to have an FDR with CRC.14–20 A previous meta-analysis found a pooled relative risk (RR) of 1.99 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55–2.55).13
Colorectal cancer screening: Results of a 5-year program in asymptomatic subjects at increased risk
2007, Digestive and Liver DiseaseCitation Excerpt :This was confirmed by our results. We found neoplasms in nearly 22% of subjects; this figure is similar to the results of other studies [28,31–33] although the percentage can range from 8 to 69% [34–37]. We do not have data of a control group at normal risk as the main aim of our project was to study the feasibility of preventing CRC in this particular risk group.
Colorectal neoplasia in Asia: a multicenter colonoscopy survey in symptomatic patients
2006, Gastrointestinal EndoscopyCitation Excerpt :In contrast to screening colonoscopy, which is usually performed in subjects over 50 years of age, the wide age range of our study populations, which included very young and very old patients, may influence the rate of colorectal neoplasm. Although a history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives is associated with colorectal adenoma,13-15 we failed to show any association between family history and advanced colorectal neoplasm in this study. In this study, 2.2% of patients with normal distal colon had advanced neoplasm (including 1% cancer) in the proximal colon.
