Accuracy of the Narrow-band Imaging International Colorectal Endoscopic Classification System in Identification of Deep Invasion in Colorectal Polyps
T1 colorectal polyps with at least 1 risk factor for metastasis to lymph node should be treated surgically and are considered endoscopically unresectable. Optical analysis, based on the narrow-band imaging international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) cla… Continue reading
An Efficient Method for Cloning Gastrointestinal Stem Cells from Patients via Endoscopic Biopsies
Serological response to Helicobacter pylori proteins associate with risk of colorectal cancer among diverse populations in the United States
Previous studies reported an association of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, the primary cause of gastric cancer, and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, these findings have been inconsistent, appear to vary with population characteristics, and … Continue reading

Factors Associated With Recurrence of Primary Biliary Cholangitis After Liver Transplantation and Effects on Graft and Patient Survival
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) frequently recurs after liver transplantation. We evaluated risk factors associated with recurrence of PBC and its effects on patient and graft survival in a multi-center, international cohort (the global PBC group). Continue reading
Thermal Ablation of Mucosal Defect Margins Reduces Adenoma Recurrence After Colonic Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be prevented by colonoscopy and polypectomy. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is performed to remove large laterally spreading colonic lesions, which have a high risk of progression to CRC. Endoscopically invisible micro-a… Continue reading
Levels of the Autophagy Related 5 Protein Affect Progression and Metastasis of Pancreatic Tumors in Mice
Cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) undergo autophagy, but its effects vary with tumor stage and genetic factors. We investigated the consequences of varying levels of the autophagy related 5 (Atg5) protein on pancreatic tumor formation an… Continue reading
