Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital Researcher Has Published New Study Findings on Intestinal Neoplasms (Use of Laxative-Augmented Contrast Medium Increases the Accuracy in the Detection of Colorectal Neoplasms).

A recent study conducted at Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, has found that the use of a laxative-augmented contrast medium can increase the accuracy in the detection of colorectal neoplasms. The study involved a 75-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer who underwent various scans that revealed abnormalities in the sigmoid, transverse colon, and pericolic lymph node. Further examination showed sigmoid adenocarcinoma with lymph node metastasis, as well as adenomas in the transverse colon, descending colon, and rectum. This research provides valuable insights into improving the detection of colorectal neoplasms. [Extracted from the article]
