Growth of colorectal polyps: redetection and evaluation of unresected polyps for a period of three years.

Abstract: Background, Aims, and Patients-In a prospective follow up and intervention study of colorectal polyps, leaving all polyps less than 10 mm in situ for three years, analysis ofredetection rate, growth, and new polyp formation was carried out in 116 patients undergoing annual colonoscopy. The findings in relation to growth and new polyp formation were applied to 58 subjects who received placebo. Results-Redetection rate varied from 75-90% for each year, and was highest in the rectum and sigmoid colon. There was n… Show more

“…The high incidence is supported by a study of repeat colonoscopy that estimated that the 1-year adenoma incidence rate is 11%. 35 The assumption that adenomas spontaneously regress is supported by previous findings in short-term studies that adenomas may disappear or regress in size 31,32,36 and by the observation that the adenoma prevalence does not increase after age 70. [12][13][14][15][16] A recent study of celecoxib in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis reported adenoma regression in the control group.…”

“…8 Although to our knowledge relatively little controversy surrounds the handling of large and diminutive polyps at the time of CTC screening, the same cannot be said for polyps measuring 6 to 9 mm (ie, ''small'' or ''medium-sized'' lesions) detected at CTC. 26,27 Based on the available natural history data for polyps measuring 6 to 9 mm (including longitudinal OC, FS, and barium enema trials), [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] it could be argued that short-term CTC surveillance for unresected polyps measuring 6 to 9 mm is a reasonable strategy. In addition to offering same-day polypectomy at OC for all patients with CTC-detected polyps measuring 6 mm, at least 1 clinical screening program is currently offering patients the alternative of CTC surveillance for polyps measuring 6 to 9 mm.…”

“…Recently, a prospective study of adenomatous polyps of <1cm left in situ for 3 years, found that, while diminutive polyps (<0.5mm) tend to grow, small polyps (0.5 to 0.9cm) tend to regress (47). This may explain why in APC, out of many thousands of polyps, only a small number of cancers develop.…”
