ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by Luiz Ronaldo Alberti  Opinion Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a common cause of death and may be prevented by routine screening strategies in order to detect precancerous lesions and early cancers [ 1 ]. However, colorectal screening is under used, and at least 40% of age- eligible adults do not adhere to up-to-date screening guidelines. Three strategies may increase compliance on colon cancer screening rates: to convince the population and medical doctors about the importance of undergoing a screening test; to achieve higher efficacy in standard screening tests; to develop new more sensitive and efficacious screening methods. Physicians are increasingly aware of the importance of screening to reduce mortality caused by CRC. Despite this fact, many patients do not receive this needed recommendation. This recommendation is of vital importance in order to convin...

It occurs in more than half of cases of lichen planus with muco-cutaneous involvement. Often there is a delay in diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The endoscopic picture of esophageal lichen planus closely mimics that of eosinophilic esophagitis. However, histological picture is entirely different and useful for differentiating between the two. We present here a challenging case where characteristic oral lesions provided with the first clue to the diagnosis of esophageal lichen planus. Subsequent histo-pathological findings were characteristic and confirmed the diagnosis. Keywords: Dysphagia; Endoscopy; Lichen planus ...
