DIVERT-Ca: unveiling the hidden link between acute diverticulitis and colorectal cancer risk—multicentre retrospective study
The incidence of CRC was in-keeping with published literature. Hinchey grade 1b was significantly associated with a subsequent CRC diagnosis. These findings emphasise the need for specialised radiological review of CT scans to detect underlying malignancy. Moreover, standardised follow-up protocols following an episode of acute diverticulitis are needed to avoid missing malignant lesions.
