- Abstract
The article presents a research that compares the efficacy between surgical and endoscopic cancer treatment of non-screen-detected and screen detected colorectal cancers of patients in Milan, Italy. Of the 228 colorectal cancer surgical operations done between January 2006 and August 2008, 106 of them were screen detected and 38 of the surgeries done were cancerous polyps. Meanwhile, of the 122 surgeries done on non-screen-detected cancers, 14 of them are cancerous polyps. Researchers found that tumuours found through screen detection showed favorable staging compared to lesions found through non-screen detection.
