“…9,10,21 Our case series is limited to relating phenotypes with their risk of having or developing CRC. Although in this study we failed to find proximal phenotype-associated synchronous CRC, there is evidence that serrated lesions larger than 10 mm (in particular, sessile adenoma) are a risk factor for developing or having proximal CRC, 22,23 which is not the case for lesions smaller than 5 mm. 23 The extracolonic cancer prevalence that we found (17%) in this case series is similar to that in other reports, despite the fact that none had synchronous CRC, which is described in the literature.…”
