Diverticular disease and CRC • Many similarities. • Cancer and diverticulosis: No known association. • Cancer and symptomatic diverticular disease: Association.
Diverticulosis and CRC • Prevalence for diverticulosis and for CRC increases as age increases and is the same in men and women.
Diverticulosis and CRC • Low prevalens of Diverticulosis in populations with low risk for CRC and Polyps. • Lack of fiber in the diet causes diverticulosis. Painter and Burkitt, BMJ,1971 • Fiber in the diet decreases the risk for colon cancer Howe GR et al, J Nat Ca Inst, 1992 Potter JD, Ca Causes and Control 1996
Diverticulosis and CRC • Diverticulosis increases in migrating populations when moving from low risk areas to high risk areas. Painter and Burkitt, BMJ,1971 Stemmermann GN, Cancer, 1973 • CRC increases in migrating populations when moving from low risk areas to high risk areas. Stazewski J, J Nat Ca Inst, 1965 Haenszel W, J Nat Ca Inst, 1968 Stemmermann GN, Cancer, 1973
Diverticulosis and CRC • One small study on the association between non-symptomatic diverticular disease and CRC 119 cases with CRC 40% of men had diverticulosis 39% of women had diverticulosis 119 age-matched controls without CRC 50% of men had diverticulosis 36% of women had diverticulosis There was no significant difference in number of patients with diverticulosis in the two groups Mc Callum et al, Scand J Gastro, 1988
Symptomatic Diverticular Disease and CRC • Physical activity lowers the risk of symptomatic diverticular disease in men. WH Aldoori et al, Gut, 1995 • Physical activity lowers the risk of CRC. Garabrant DH et al, Am J Epid, 1984 Vena JE et al, Am J Epid, 1985 Gerhardson M, Int J Epid, 1988
Symptomatic Diverticular Disease and CRC • High intake of fat and low intake of fiber is associated with increased risk of Symptomatic Diverticular Disease Aldoori WH et al, Am J Clin Nutr, 1994 • High intake of fat is associated with increased risk of CRC Howe et al, Ca Causes and Control, 1997
Symptomatic Diverticular Disease and CRC • High intake of red meat and low intake of fiber is associated with increased risk of Symptomatic Diverticular Disease. Aldoori WH et al, Am J Clin Nutr, 1994 • High intake of red meat is associated with increased risk of CRC Potter JD, J Natl Ca Inst, 1999
Symptomatic Diverticular Disease and CRC • Uppsala Health Care Region 1965-1983 • Total 7159 patients with diverticular disease • Men 2478 • Women 4681 • <60 years 1410 • 60-69 years 1665 • >70 years 4084

Symptomatic Diverticular Disease and CRC • 7159 patients with symptomatic diverticular disease 1965-1983. Followed up untill 1985. The first two years excluded.

Symptomatic Diverticular Disease and CRC • 7159 patients with symptomatic diverticular disease 1965-1983. Followed up untill 1991. The first two years excluded. • A nested case control study 64 cases of colon cancer x 123 controls, matched by age, sex and year of discharge • Patients with sigmoid diverticulitis had four-fold risk of colon cancer compared to those with only diverticulosis • OR= 4.2 (95% CI 1.3-13.0) Stefánsson T et al, Scand J Gastroenterol, 2004
Summary • Diverticulosis and Colon cancer Many things in common. No known association • Diverticular Disease and Colon Cancer The first year after diagnosis RR= 18 in left colon • Diverticular Disease and Colon Cancer The first two years excluded RR=1.8 in left colon • Diverticulitis and Colon Cancer The first two years excluded OR=4 in left colon
Conclusion • Many similarities. • Cancer and diverticulosis: No known association. • Cancer and Diverticulitis Association.
Diverticulosis • In European and US populations Distal Colon 90% with sigmoidal involvement 15% in right colon Parks TG, Clin Gastroenterol, 1975 Hughes LE, Gut, 1969 • In Asian populations Right sided involvement of Diverticula Lee YS, Dis Colon Rectum, 1986 Chia JG, Dis Colon Rectum, 1991
Diverticulosis • Prevalence is high in Europe, USA and Australia but low in rural Africa and Asia. Painter NS and Burkitt DP, BMJ, 1971
Diverticulosis • The incidence of diverticula can vary in ethnic groups within a given country. Singapore: Chinese : 1,4/100000/year Europeans: 54,1/100000/year Kyle J et al, Scand J Gastroent, 1967 Israel 1969-74 1979-84 Ashkenazy Jews 16,2% 17,3% Sephardi Jews 3,8% 12,9% Arabs 0,7% 5,4% Levy N, Dis Colon Rectum, 1985
Diverticulosis • Smooth Muscle Abnormality Taenia Coli Appear thick with a cartilagenous consistency The circular musle is thick Corrugated concertina like appearance Morson BC, Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine 1963 • Elastin Depositions The diverticular colonic wall contains normal muscle cells, but muscle cells in the taenia coli contains 200% more elastin compared with those without diverticula. Whiteway J, Morson BC, Gut, 1985
Diverticulosis • Increase in type III collagen synthesis Bode MK, Scand J Gastroenterol, 2000 Stumpf M, Int J Colorectal Dis, 2001
Diverticulosis • Increased Diverticulosis in Marfans and Ehler Danlos syndromes Simpson J, Br J Surg, 2002
Diverticulosis • Interstitial cells of Cajal and Glial cells are significantly reduced in Colonic Diverticular Disease. Bassotti G et al, Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2005
Genetics of Diverticular Disease • Discharged from hospital in Iceland 1985-2000 with the diagnosis Diverticular disease. • Genealogy register at deCode in Reykjavík containing all Icelanders living in Iceland from the settlement of the island. • RR of relatives, mates and relatives of mates of being in the discharged group.

Discussion • Diverticular Disease both genetic and environmental. • Diverticulosis more environmental ? • Complicated diverticular disease more genetic ?
