| [ Summary ] | Interval colorectal cancer (CRC) is defined as "Colorectal cancer after a screening or surveillance exam in which no cancer is detected, and before the date of the next recommended exam" by WEO (World Endoscopy Organization). As no determinate period has been set, interval CRC is defined as a group of cancers containing various uncertainties such as missed lesions, tumor growth speed, and quality of examination. However, we believe that the truth about interval CRC can be unrabeled by identifying the essence of rapidly growing cancer. Therefore, we judged that it is appropriate to analyze cancers cases where benign precursor lesions have undergone transformation into a deep submucosal cancer invasion in a short period. Herein, we present four cases treated at our center. We conclude that accumulation and analysys of such cases multiple institutions in the future would provide meaningful information. | |
