Asymptomatic Colonic Metastases of Lung Cancer: A Case Report

Abstract

Lung cancer is a malignant neoplasm that is frequently associated with distant metastasis. However, gastrointestinal tract is a rare location for lung cancer metastasis. Herein, we presented a case of a 72-year-old man, who was admitted for chest pain and with radiological evidence of lung cancer with distant metastases and a suspected localization in the right colon. On colonoscopy visual impression showed two yellowish and ulcerative lesions, one in the ascending colon and the other in the transverse colon, which were biopsied. Both were consistent on pathological report with colonic metastases. According to advanced stage of neoplasm (stage IV), patient underwent palliative chemotherapy.

A Modified Sequential Regimen of Helicobacterpylori Treatment Enforced by Bacillus clausii and Zinc Carnosine Complex Yields High Eradication Rates_Juniper Publishers

  ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS   Authored by Dajani AI      Abstract Introduction: Over the past decade a worldwide trend of decline in the cure rates of Helicobacter pylori is observed. Current eradication rates achieved by the standard triple therapy are below 70%. Sequential therapy had provided a potential alternative that would compensate for the unmet performance of triple therapy. Despite its superiority to triple therapy, the excellent results reported initially were not reproduced by other investigators work. Adding adjuvant agents was also found to improve further the success rate of eradication. Probiotics emerged as a useful adjunct in treatment and prophylaxis of Helicobacter pylori infection. The nutritional supplement Zinc carnosine complex is another adjuvant which is believed to add value to the treatment. Patients and method: an open label randomized observational clinical study ...

A Novel Over-The-Scope Clip (OTSC) For the Treatment of Severe Non-Variceal Upper GI-Bleeding: An Alternative to Classic Hemostatic Techniques?_Juniper Publishers

ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS     Authored by Wedi E Abstract Gastrointestinal bleeding is a frequent endoscopic emergency. The mortality rate, due to non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGB), remains despite technical advances between 5-10%. Conventional endoscopic treatment includes through the scope clips (TTSC), injection therapy and thermal therapy. The over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) is a novel endoscopic device, that overcomes limitations of standard clips and achieves a more efficient and reliable haemostasis in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB). His review article gives an overview of the recently published data on this topic and discusses future perspectives in GI-bleeding management. Keywords: Endoscopy; Non-variceal upper gi bleeding; Over-the-scope clip; OTSC Introduction Gastrointestinal bleeding is frequent in clinical practice ...

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Current Therapies and Challenges

Image
ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by Myron R Szewczuk  Abstract Gastrointestinal (GIJ cancer is an all-encompassing term that refers to the forms of cancers of the digestive system including the esophagus, liver, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, anus and pancreas. Of the cancers mentioned, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDACJ is the most deadly form of GI cancer owing partially to the late detection of this malignancy. At this point of diagnosis, the disease has metastasized and very few treatment options are available to patients. The aggressive nature of this cancer can be attributed to the substantial number of mutations acquired during its progression and its subsequent resistance to standard therapies such as chemotherapy and radiationThe heterogeneity of the subpopulations that are chemoresistant, particularly the tumor initiating population as known as cancer stem cells...
