In CT Colonography, Perry Pickhardt and David Kim present techniques for quicker evaluation and diagnosis of colon cancer through the pioneering, specialty-changing imaging technique of virtual colonoscopy (VC). This combination of sophisticated X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen offers patients an alternative to colonoscopy that is cost effective and reduces the need for unnecessary polyp removal. Abundantly illustrated in full color, this pioneering book describes CT colonography from pathogenesis, staging and treatment through indications, technique, and interpretation for the most common p

This guideline covers using colonoscopy to check for signs of bowel cancer in people aged 18 and over with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (types of inflammatory bowel disease) or adenomas (also known as polyps). It aims to prevent cancer and prolong life by offering advice on identifying early bowel cancer in adults most at risk.

Colorectal cancer, with one million new cases and half a million of deaths each year, is the third most common cancer in men and the second among women. This cancer represents an important public health problem. The prognosis and survival rate are directly related to the tumor development stage at the time of diagnosis. That’s why early detection is especially important. This cancer is among the diseases that may benefit from early detection. Indeed, this cancer has preclinical detectable lesions and is curable if detected early. Available screening methods can be classified into two groups: tests that primarily detect and tests for both cancer detection and anatomical structure determination. The screening method currently used is the detection of blood in the stool. However, the sensitivity is relatively low and needlessly submits too many patients to colonoscopy. Therefore, many studies aim to develop more efficient and non invasive tests able to detect tumor markers in blood or stool. Several genes significantly involved in the genesis of colorectal cancer have been identified. Therefore, studies have sought to identify’ the relevance of detecting them in blood or stool for colorectal cancer screening. The genes involved are Kras, p53 and APC. Studies were also conducted on the value of serological markers such as CEA, CA 19-9 and TIMP- 1 for early detection. The method of screening and anatomical structure examination is currently colonoscopy which is an invasive modality. High hopes are thus placed in the future development of non invasive methods such as virtual colonoscopy and video capsule, not validated at this time Le cancer colorectal, avec un million de nouveaux cas et un demi-million de morts chaque année, est le troisième cancer le plus fréquent chez l’homme et le deuxième plus fréquent chez la femme. Ce cancer constitue un véritable problème de santé publique. Cependant le pronostic de survie est en relation directe avec le stade de développement au moment du diagnostic. C’est pourquoi un dépistage précoce est particulièrement important. Ce cancer fait partie des maladies pouvant bénéficier d’un dépistage précoce. En effet, il est fréquent, grave, présente des lésions précliniques décelables et est guérissable s’il est détecté suffisamment tôt. Les méthodes de dépistage disponibles peuvent être classées en deux groupes: les tests permettant principalement la détection et les tests permettant à la fois la détection du cancer et un examen des structures anatomiques. La méthode de dépistage actuellement retenue est la détection du sang dans les selles. Cependant la sensibilité est relativement faible et soumet, inutilement, trop de patients à la colonoscopie. C’est pourquoi de nombreuses études visent à développer des tests plus performants et non invasifs permettant de détecter des marqueurs tumoraux dans le sang ou les selles. Plusieurs gènes significativement impliqués dans la genèse du cancer colorectal ont pu être mis en évidence. Des études cherchent donc à évaluer la pertinence que pourrait avoir la détection de ceux-ci, dans le sang ou les selles, pour le dépistage précoce du cancer colorectal. Les gènes concernés sont Kras, p53 et APC. Des études ont également été menées sur l’intérêt de marqueurs sérologiques tels que CEA, CA 19-9 et TIMP-1 pour le dépistage précoce. La méthode actuellement retenue de dépistage et d’examen des structures anatomiques est la colonoscopie qui est une modalité invasive. De bons espoirs sont placés dans le futur développement de méthodes non invasives telles que la colonoscopie virtuelle et la vidéo capsule, non encore validées
