Abstract:IntroductionAdenomas detected at Bowel Scope are classified based on the BSG guideline on adenoma follow up. Subjects with high or intermediate risk adenomas are referred for colonoscopy to clear the whole colon of polyps. Subjects with low risk adenomas (one or two sub 1 cm adenomas) undergo polypectomy and are discharged. However, in deviation to the guideline, if adenomas have villous component – tubulovillous adenoma (TVA) or villous adenoma (VA), they are upstaged to intermediate risk and subjects are ref… Show more
“…The value of upstaging investigations in adenomas with any villous component is subject to ongoing debate . Our data show that villous‐preponderant histology is a more significant predictor of proximal pathology than any villous histology.…”
Male gender, polyps ≥ 10 mm and villous-preponderant histology at FS were predictors of adenomas < 10 mm and ≥ 10 mm at colonoscopy. Further data are required to assess the role for gender-based stratification of conversion criteria.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
