At 4 years, 39% of patients had an adenoma recurrence: 50% in the proximal colon only and 31% in the distal colon only. Proximal-only adenomas at baseline predicted overall adenoma recurrence (RR ...

About one third of these advanced adenomas were polyps <1 cm that had villous elements or high-grade dysplasia; the remainder were adenomas ≥1 cm. The yields of lesions for the entire colon were ...

Images of positive CT colonography (CTC) screening examination result in an asymptomatic 67-year-old man. Three-dimensional colon map from CTC (left image) shows the location of two sigmoid polyps ...

Endoscopic resection is recommended for all polyps proximal to the sigmoid colon, all lesions in the recto-sigmoid colon >5 mm in size, and for conventional adenomas in the recto-sigmoid of any size.

All other outcomes showed no statistically significant differences between age groups. Advanced adenomas occurred in 3.8% of younger patients versus 4.1% of older patients (aRR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.75 ...

Amid a rise in colon cancer in young people, in 2021, the guidelines for when to begin screenings were changed from age 50 to 45. New research confirms that colonoscopies in those aged 45 to 49 are ...
