Colorectal Cancer: Open Access

Association between Serrated Polyps and the Risk of Synchronous Colorectal Cancer: A Community-Based Study

Serrated polyps (SP), which include hyperplastic polyps (HP), sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/PS) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA)), are considered premalignant lesions, but their association with synchronous colorectal cancer (sCRC) is not well known. Some features of SP are associated with increased risk of metachronous advanced colorrectal lesion, specially SP ≥ 10 mm or SP with dysplasia (SPwD), considering these lesions as high-risk serrated polyps (HRSP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the different histological subtypes of SP and HRSP with sCRC
