Flat lesions are crucial in early colorectal cancer development. Enhanced endoscopic techniques improve detection and prevention of advanced colorectal carcinoma.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Early colorectal carcinoma (CRC) diagnosis is critical for patient outcomes.
  • Flat colorectal lesions represent a significant, often overlooked, pathway to CRC development.

Observation:

  • Three cases of flat early CRC were identified in 51 colorectal resection specimens.
  • One small flat lesion was missed during standard endoscopic examination.

Findings:

  • Flat adenomas, including flush and depressed types, are key in the adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence.
  • These flat lesions can arise de novo or from pre-existing adenomas.

Implications:

  • Improved endoscopic visualization, using staining (e.g., indigo carmine, methylene blue) and careful examination during insufflation/desufflation, is vital.
