| pubmed-article:2316931 | pubmed:abstractText | Numerous studies have elucidated the benefits of endoscopy before surgery for carcinoma of the colon and rectum. In patients with known colon cancer, the incidence of synchronous colon cancers is 1.5 to 7.6 per cent and synchronous colon polyps is 25 to 40 per cent. Standard barium contrast studies are inferior to endoscopic examination in detecting these synchronous lesions. Endoscopy has been shown to alter the planned surgical procedure in 11 to 13 per cent of patients with colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, some authors avoid preoperative endoscopy because of concern that neoplastic cells may be seeded throughout the colon during the examination. They fear that manipulation of the tumor may promote hematogenous or lymphatic spread. Our study seeks to demonstrate whether this concern is valid by comparing rates of local recurrence, distant metastases, and survival between patients who have undergone preoperative endoscopy with those who have not. | lld:pubmed |
