A research group form the United States investigated how proximal colon polyps interpreted as hyperplastic polyps in 2001 would be interpreted by expert pathologists in 2007. They found that many ...

Hyperplastic polyps in the colon are typically harmless, with a very low risk of causing cancer. However, doctors may choose to painlessly remove them during a colonoscopy. Hyperplastic polyps are ...

Colorectal polyps have been traditionally classified as either hyperplastic or adenomatous, with only the latter progressing to carcinoma. However, it is now recognized that certain subtypes of ...

Detecting and characterizing colonic polyps using high-definition imaging and narrow-band imaging (NBI) has yielded modest results. Now, two randomized studies have substantiated the role of NBI in ...

It may not be necessary for experienced gastroenterologists to send polyps they remove from a patient's colon to a pathologist for examination, according to a large study conducted by physician ...

Results of the First Phase I Clinical Trial of the Novel Ii-Key Hybrid Preventive HER-2/neu Peptide (AE37) Vaccine Seventy-four patients (10.6%) were found to have at least one adenoma at first ...

A: Serrated adenomas are polyps that simultaneously demonstrate the serrated architecture typical of hyperplastic polyps and the epithelial dysplasia of conventional adenomas. They are a subset of a ...

Experienced gastroenterologists may not be required to send polyps they remove from a patient's colon to a pathologist for examination, suggests a large study conducted by physician researchers at the ...

In terms of CRC mortality, however, the risk increased only in patients with sessile serrated polyps, tubulovillous adenomas, or villous adenomas but not in those with hyperplastic polyps or tubular ...

We evaluated the diagnostic utility of the histological characteristics ascribed in the literature to serrated adenomas and developed a practical working model to allow their reliable identification.
