Description
Springer Atlas of Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome 1st Editon 2022 Hardbound by Ryota Hokari, Tadakazu Hisamatsu
This manual treats both conceptual and practical aspects of gastrointestinal polyposis syndrome, which is characterized by dermatologic manifestations. The book offers both detailed and comprehensive analysis of the endoscopic findings achieved from 88 cases, which led to novel concepts and classification of the dermatologic manifestations according to distribution pattern, the thickness of mucosa, and intervening inflamed mucosa between polyps. The book also offers comparisons of the endoscopic features to pathological features. Abundant illustrations show the observations of the malignant lesions using special lights, such as NBI and BLI, to provide a comprehensive view of the Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) polyp.
Atlas of Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome is essential guidance for gastroenterologists and pathologists who pursue the new diagnostic approach and treatment for CCS. It also attracts clinicians interested in the latest updates on this field and those who encountered the CCS patients with refractory to corticosteroid treatment.
The risk of colorectal cancer in patients with CCS may increase because multiple inflammatory pseudopolyps make it more difficult to detect premalignant adenomas. Additionally, as endoscopy for GI disease becomes widespread in developing countries, the number of diagnosed patients will likely increase. Thus, it is crucial to have a broader understanding of the disease and the treatment strategy, and this book aims to simplify a complicated picture of the rare disease.1 Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome Disease.- 2 Endoscopic Images Per Organ.- 3 Endoscopic Images of Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy, Balloon-Assisted Enteroscopy and Image-Enhanced Endoscopy.- 4 Endoscopic Images of Coincident Carcinoma and Adenoma to Differentiate from Non-Neoplastic Polyps.- 5 Comparison of Pathological and Endoscopic Images (per Organ).- 6 Case-Based Images: First Attack Case.- 7 Case-based images: Relapse - Remitting Cases/Chronic Continuous Cases.- 8 Case-based images: Steroid-Resistant/Refractory/Intolerant Cases.- 9 Case-based images: Cases Treated with Other Than Corticosteroids.- 10 Case-Based Images: Cases with Atypical Clinical Symptoms/Possible Cases.- 11 Case-based images: Cases with Coincident Esophageal Lesions/Coincident.
