The Malignant Polyp: Polypectomy or Surgical Resection?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps is a well-recognised therapy for the prevention of colorectal carcinoma. Roughly 10% of resected polyps contain foci of carcinoma and are of‐ ten termed malignant polyps or polyp cancers. Their incidence is increasing in line with the increasing use of colonoscopy.[1] A proportion of these will have progressed to nodal dis‐ ease before presentation and a further oncological resection should be considered for high risk patients.[2]

Management of colorectal polyp cancers
INTRODUCTION Management of malignant colorectal polyps is controversial. The options are resection or surveillance. Resection margin status is accepted as an independent predictor of adverse outcome. However, the rate of adverse outcome in polyps with a resection margin of <1mm has not been investigated. METHODS A retrospective search of the pathology database was undertaken. All polyp cance...
متن کامل5. Management of malignant polyps
Malignant polyp is a term that is used when a polyp is removed by colonoscopy that appears grossly benign but has adenocarcinoma identified histologically (Fig. 1). The clinical issues in this setting are more difficult than in a patient who has had a surgical resection because of a large sessile polyp or suspected malignancy where a surgical specimen and adjacent lymph nodes are available for ...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Incomplete Polyp Resection during Colonoscopic Polypectomy
BACKGROUND/AIMS Colonoscopic polypectomy is highly efficient in preventing colorectal cancer, but polyps may not always be completely removed. Improved knowledge of the risk factors for incomplete polyp resection after polypectomy may decrease the cancer risk and additional costs. The aim of this study was to investigate the conditions that can cause incomplete polyp resection (IPR) after colon...
متن کاملIncomplete polyp resection during colonoscopy-results of the complete adenoma resection (CARE) study.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although the adenoma detection rate is used as a measure of colonoscopy quality, there are limited data on the quality of endoscopic resection of detected adenomas. We determined the rate of incompletely resected neoplastic polyps in clinical practice. METHODS We performed a prospective study on 1427 patients who underwent colonoscopy at 2 medical centers and had at least 1 ...
متن کاملA Rare Case of a Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma of the Colon Mimicking a Juvenile Polyp
Primary signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) of colon at early stage is quite rare. Only 26 cases were reported until now. We report an early stage of primary SRC which was misdiagnosed as a juvenile polyp and treated with polypectomy followed by surgical resection. A 21-year-old male was administered for hematochezia. Abdominopelvic enhanced computed tomography revealed a polyp with active bleedin...
