Colonoscopy is crucial for colorectal cancer screening, diagnosis, and prevention. This review highlights recent advances in risk stratification, surveillance, and prevention strategies, including virtual colonoscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant health burden globally.
  • Endoscopic procedures, particularly colonoscopy, are vital for CRC management.
  • Recent advancements necessitate an updated review of current practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a state-of-the-art review on colon polyps and cancer.
  • To highlight recent literature relevant to CRC risk stratification, screening, surveillance, and prevention.
  • To discuss the role of endoscopy and emerging technologies in CRC detection.

Main Methods:

  • A PubMed literature search was conducted focusing on endoscopy and colorectal cancer.
  • A selection of recent, high-impact peer-reviewed papers was chosen for review.

  • The review synthesizes current findings on adenoma types, risk stratification, and screening modalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopy, especially colonoscopy, remains paramount in CRC screening, diagnosis, and prevention.
    • Recent research addresses risk stratification, surveillance protocols, and chemoprevention strategies.
    • The review examines the benefits and drawbacks of direct colonoscopy versus virtual colonoscopy.

    Conclusions:

    • Colonoscopy is a cornerstone in the fight against colorectal cancer.
    • Emerging technologies and updated strategies enhance CRC prevention and management.
    • Continued research is essential for optimizing screening and surveillance protocols.
