Abstract:
The impressive and brisk evolution of medical science prevents many physicians from a thorough update on all the research fields. Colorectal cancer diagnosis, screening and follow-up is well known to require a multi-disciplinary approach, as it is faced by several specialties such as primary care physicians, gastroenterologists, non-gastroenterologist internists, radiologists and surgeons. To address this issue in a mutual perspective, we focused on the main points of the epidemiology, diagnosis, screening and follow-up of colorectal neoplasia by using a simple "Question & Answers" structure.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
