Abstract

Several studies have shown that patients with acromegaly are at increased risk of developing colorectal polyps and cancer. The prevalence of polyp in colon of patients with acromegaly was variously reported between 23% and 53%. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of polyp and cancer of colon in patients with acromegaly. Twenty-three patients with acromegaly were evaluated with colonoscopy for the presence of colonic polyps and cancer. Three patients were found to have colonic polyps. This translates to a prevalence rate of 13%. We recommend that screening colonoscopy be carried out once every three years in all acromegalic patients over the age of 40 years.

摘要

多项研究表明，肢端肥大症患者患结直肠息肉和癌症的风险增加。肢端肥大症患者结肠息肉的患病率报道不一，在23%至53%之间。本研究旨在确定肢端肥大症患者结肠息肉和癌症的患病率。对23例肢端肥大症患者进行结肠镜检查，以确定是否存在结肠息肉和癌症。发现3例患者有结肠息肉。这意味着患病率为13%。我们建议，所有40岁以上的肢端肥大症患者每三年进行一次结肠镜筛查。
