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 …

BACKGROUND: Sessile serrated polyps are precursors of colorectal cancer arising from
molecular pathways distinct from conventional adenomas. The association between sessile …

Colorectal polyps have been traditionally classified as either hyperplastic or adenomatous,
with only the latter progressing to carcinoma. However, it is now recognized that certain …

Colorectal cancer remains a major cancer diagnosis, and a cause of mortality worldwide
with screening and surveillance programs representing a significant healthcare commitment …

Serrated polyps have long been considered to lack malignant potential but accumulating
data suggest that these lesions may cause up to one-third of all sporadic colorectal cancer …

Hyperplastic polyps of the colon have traditionally been considered benign lesions without
risk of progression to malignancy. However, hyperplastic polyps are only part of the …

Abstract “Serrated polyps” is the term used for epithelial lesions of the colon and rectum that
have a “sawtooth” pattern on the polyp's surface and crypt epithelium. The so-called serrated …

Background & Aims Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) and traditional serrated

Until recently, colonic polyps were traditionally classified as either hyperplastic or
adenomatous, and only the latter were believed to have the potential to progress to …

Until the past two decades, almost all colorectal polyps were divided into two main groups:
hyperplastic polyps and adenomas. Sessile serrated adenomas presented endoscopic …
