[PDF][PDF] Sessile serrated polyps: cancer risk and appropriate surveillance
Sessile serrated polyps are a recently recognized type of neoplastic polyp that develops
along a molecular pathway different from that of conventional adenomas. While the clinical
significance of the serrated pathway to colorectal cancer is clear, further study is needed to
understand a patient's lifetime colorectal cancer risk posed by serrated neoplasms and the
optimal postpolypectomy surveillance interval.

Abstract
Sessile serrated polyps are a recently recognized type of neoplastic polyp that develops along a molecular pathway different from that of conventional adenomas. While the clinical significance of the serrated pathway to colorectal cancer is clear, further study is needed to understand a patient’s lifetime colorectal cancer risk posed by serrated neoplasms and the optimal postpolypectomy surveillance interval.
