In general terms, colorectal polyps that are 10 mm (1 cm) or bigger in diameter are considered to have a higher risk of ...

Not all colon polyps are cancerous but all colon cancer starts as a polyp which is why everyone needs to know about them and ...

Estimates of its sensitivity, however, have relied on subsequent polyp detection by the same technique. Pickhardt and colleagues have completed the first study of the OC adenoma miss rate using a ...

Early detection is crucial for effective treatment of colorectal cancer, but the initial stages are easily missed during ...

Serrated polyps are less likely than adenomas to bleed, so fecal occult blood testing is unlikely to detect these lesions. [66] There are no specific data regarding sensitivity and specificity of ...

This concern about malignancy has now been extended to sessile serrated polyps which, the authors warn, are "less understood than adenomas and are more risky to remove." Yet current consensus ...

Serrated colorectal polyps are a genotypically and molecularly diverse group of lesions sharing the common phenotype of glandular serration of the crypt lumen. A small subset of serrated polyps ...

"We find that use of CADe systems results in increased detection of overall colonic polyps and adenomas with equivocal findings for ACN," the authors write. "Future studies with focus on more ...

Finally, there are sessile serrated polyps (SSP) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA) which are treated like adenomas and have a higher risk of becoming cancer, the American Cancer Society said.
