β¦ Synopsis
In 584 consecutive patients with no previous history of cancer or polypectomy, 769 adenomas were excised endoscopically and classified retrospectively according to the following parameters: macroscopic growth pattern, size, histological type, grade of dysplasia, anatomical site, presence of adenocarcinoma (ADK), number of adenomas and sex and age of the patient. A multivariate logistic analysis confirmed that size and histological type are the 2 most important predictors of ADK, both in solitary and in multiple adenomas. Adenomas located in the sigmoid portion and in the rectum have an increased probability of ADK, independent of size and histology. Multiple polyps, when compared to solitary polyps, were more frequent in males (p < 0.01) and were more often larger than 2 cm. Significant similarities in histology, morphology and degree of dysplasia were observed among multiple adenomas from the same patient.

## Abstract A review of 167 cases of esophageal carcinoma without preoperative treatment revealed 24 (14.4%) to have intramural metastasis (IM) within the esophagus. Among the clinicopathologic factors, the length of the lesions (__P__ < 0.01), lymph node metastasis (__P__ < 0.001), and the depth o
The immunoreactivity of p21 was evaluated in normal mucosa and in adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the human large bowel. In normal mucosa, p21 immunoreactivity was seen in the superficial third of the crypts (maturation compartment) and in surface (terminally differentiated) epithelium, and was mutu
## BACKGROUND. The majority of colorectal carcinomas, if not all, arise from a benign adenoma. The DNA of the carcinomatous cells frequently has mutations in several genes. However, it is not exactly clear when during the neoplastic process each mutation develops. An adenoma with an area of in sit
