Colorectal polyp

neuroendocrine tumors account for 12 - 27% of all carcinoid tumors (Modlin and Sandor 1997; Modlin, Lye et al. 2003). Although it accounts for < 1 - 2% of all rectal neoplasia, the prevalence of rectal carcinoid is increasing partly due to increased colorectal cancer screening (Modlin, Oberg et al. 2008; Murray, Sippel et al. 2012). Majority of rectal carcinoids are diagnosed incidentally. The prevalence of rectal carcinoid in adults undergoing screening colonoscopy ranges 0.05 – 0.07%, which…

Cancer is defined by abnormal cell division without control. Colorectal cancer may be develop in the tissues of the colon and/or the tissues of the rectum (PubMed Health, 2015). Colon and rectal cancers arise because of changes that occur in specific genes and it has been notices that these genes play an important role to the cell cycle, angiogenesis and other mechanisms that take part in the growth of cells (Swan, 2005). Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and has a…

structural changes and abnormalities that cause disease and defects. Colon cancer is a disease of the large intestine. Cancer early on shows no signs or symptom and is called the silent killer. In the early stage there would be small noncancerous polyps that are growths on the lining of the large intestine. When the cancer goes undetected for a long period it will proliferate and be noticed. When left untreated the cell proliferates and becomes resistant to apoptosis and leaves no room for…

Histological analysis Tissue harvested from the distal colon (1 cm from the rectum) was cut into segments, fixed with 10% formaldehyde overnight, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 5 μm, mounted on clean glass slides, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histological evaluation. Each slide was coded and analyzed in a blinded fashion by two investigators using light microscopy. Each sample was assigned a histological score based on cumulative scores assigned to colon characteristics…

Colorectal carcinoma is a cancer of the large intestine (colon) and rectum , the lower part of the digestive system. It can metastasis to liver, lung, bone, brain and lymph nodes. These are the common sites [8]. However, liver metastases is the main cause for death. Adrenal gland, testicular and skin are the less frequent sites(8). Usually, liver metastases are hypo vascular [5]. Colorectal cancer can be diagnosed by many modalities such as CT SCAN, FDG/PET And FDG PET/CT. PET/CT is the most…

surgery also contributes as a risk factor as it disturbs the normal ph of stomach leading to metaplasia and dysplasia in stomach luminal cells. Genetic factors also contribute to a portion of stomach cancers they include Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Familial adenomatous polyposis and Li Fraumeni syndrome. Stomach is divided into two parts proximal and distal. The proximal part is further divided into Cardia, Fundus and Body and the distal part is divided…

Understanding of the subjective illness experience of bowel cancer (also known as colorectal cancer) is crucial in managing the illness and coping with patients (Johansson, Axelsson, Berndtsson& Brink, 2014). The subjective experience of illness is largely shaped by the social understanding of cancer, economic burdens and relationship between family members. It various among patients and their family members. My grandma was diagnosed with stage III (curable) bowel cancer 13 years ago at the age…

is colon or colorectal cancer (CRC). In 2014, there was an estimated 136,830 new cases of colon cancer. Additionally, last year, it was estimated that 50,310 Americans died from colorectal cancer. It is the fourth most common type of cancer in the United States and the second most deadly (National Cancer Institute). Because of this disease’s deadliness, there are many studies…

Reviewing the Financial Management of Colon Cancer Alliance Introduction Nonprofit organizations exist to provide various types of services and needs to the surrounding community and/or to the nation or world, as a whole. Unlike the for-profit counterparts, nonprofits do not exist to generate profit or have owner’s equity or stockholders (Accounting Coach, n.d.). Instead, nonprofits must rely on contribution, membership dues, program revenue, fundraising events/activities, public or private…

Critical numeracy is the ability to think discernibly about the way mathematical concepts are being used in everyday contexts, such as the media (reference).The ability is particularly relevant in the light of media claims about sensitive social issues and in the light of advertisements that make claims for products on the market. As teachers, we want to cultivate critical minds that analyse and understand how the media can manipulate their view on almost every topic, since we cannot make sense…
