Summary

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common cancer in male and female worldwide. In India, it is the fourth most common cause of cancer in males and third most common cancer in female. Age, smoking, colonic adenomatous polyp, family history are traditional risk factor for CRC. The vast majority of CRC results from malignant transformation from adenoma, which is called as adenoma carcinoma sequence. These adenomatous polyps grows slowly over many years and malignant transformation eventually occurs over 10 years. So, the early detection and removal of polyp at early stage should benefit in preventing CRC.

Conditions

  • Colonic Polyp
  • Colonic Adenoma
  • Colonic Neoplasms

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Colonoscopy

For all patients, either moderate sedation with intravenous midazolam or conscious sedation with intravenous propofol will be administered in a standard fashion prior to undergoing colonoscopy. The colonoscope will be inserted and cecum will be intubated. Photo documentation of the cecum will be performed. The colonic mucosa will be carefully visualized upon withdrawal of the colonoscope. The time spent in inspecting the mucosa during withdrawal of the colonoscope will be documented as the "withdrawal time". Meticulous technique will be employed during the withdrawal phase with special efforts to visualize portions of colonic mucosa on the proximal aspects of haustral folds, flexures and valves.All polyps detected will be documented: size, location, and morphology. Photo documentation of the polyps will be performed.
