Evidence demonstrates that annual screening with gFOBT as well as 1-time and every 3 to 5-year flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, reduces colorectal cancer deaths [1]. Flexible sigmoidoscopies combined with annual FIT may serve as an alternative to colonoscopy, which is lengthier and more invasive [1].Age 40• Colonoscopy every 3 years
Ovarian dysgerminoma during pregnancy is rare, with an incidence of approximately 0.2 to 1 per 1,000,000 pregnancies, generally affecting adolescents and young adults under 30 years of age. Detection during pregnancy is difficult. Most are diagnosed early. Proper management of these neoplasms to improve both maternal and neonatal outcomes remain a challenge. We present the case of a 23-year-old patient, with 38 weeks of gestation, mental retardation, who goes to the emergency room due to uterine contractions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
