The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of adenoma in the early stage of colorectal cancer development, we focused on the clinicopathologic relationship between adenoma with low-grade dysplasia (ALGD), adenoma with high-grade dysplasia (AHGD), and cancer that invades the submucosa in the colorectum.
We clinicopathologically examined a total of 553 adenomas and 58 cancers that invaded the submucosa. The tissues were excised from 479 patients who underwent total colonoscopy.
The percentage of ALGD was 79.9% in the proximal colon, 70.5% in the distal colon, and 48.3% in the rectum, respectively. The percentages of AHGD and cancer were 14.5% and 5.6% in the proximal colon, 21.3% and 8.2% in the distal colon, and 35.4% and 16.3% in the rectum, respectively. In contrast with the distribution of ALGD, the distribution of both AHGD and cancer shifted from the proximal to the distal site, with a statistical significance (P <.01). When the distribution of adenoma was compared according to tumor size, both large- and small-sized AHGD showed a similar cancer distribution, however, both large- and small-sized ALGD showed different distributions.
An important role of AHGD for cancer development in the colorectum may relate to the similar distribution between AHGD and cancer; however, the different distributions observed between ALGD, AHGD, and cancer suggested that ALGD has only a slight association with the development of cancer.
本研究的目的是阐明腺瘤在结直肠癌发生早期的作用,我们重点关注了大肠中低级别异型增生腺瘤(ALGD)、高级别异型增生腺瘤(AHGD)与侵犯黏膜下层的癌之间的临床病理关系。
我们对总共553例腺瘤和58例侵犯黏膜下层的癌进行了临床病理检查。这些组织取自479例行全结肠镜检查的患者。
ALGD在近端结肠中的比例分别为79.9%,在远端结肠中为70.5%,在直肠中为48.3%。AHGD和癌在近端结肠中的比例分别为14.5%和5.6%,在远端结肠中为21.3%和8.2%,在直肠中为35.4%和16.3%。与ALGD的分布相反,AHGD和癌的分布均从近端向远端转移,具有统计学意义(P<.01)。当根据肿瘤大小比较腺瘤的分布时,大、小尺寸的AHGD显示出相似的癌分布,然而,大、小尺寸的ALGD显示出不同的分布。
AHGD在结直肠癌发生中的重要作用可能与其和癌的相似分布有关;然而,ALGD、AHGD和癌之间观察到的不同分布表明ALGD与癌的发生仅有轻微关联。
