It is currently known that colorectal cancers(CRC) arise from 3 different pathways: the adenoma to carcinoma chromosomal instability pathway(50%-70%); the mutator "Lynch syndrome" route(3%-5%); and the serrated pathway(30%-35%). The World Health Organization has classified serrated polyps into three types of lesions: hyperplastic polyps(HP),sessile serrated adenomas/polyps(SSA/P) and traditional serrated adenomas(TSA),the latter two strongly associated with development of CRCs. HPs do not cause cancer and TSAs are rare. SSA/P appear to be the responsible precursor lesion for the development of cancers through the serrated pathway. Both HPs and SSA/Ps appear morphologically similar. SSA/P are difficult to detect. The margins are normally inconspicuous. En bloc resection of these polyps can hence be troublesome. A careful examination of borders,submucosal injection of a dye solution(for larger lesions) and resection of a rim of normal tissue around the lesion may ensure total eradication of these lesions. 相似文献

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. Serrated polyps are classified into three subtypes, including sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps), traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs), and hyperplastic polyps (HPs). SSA/P and TSA harbour malignant potential but TSA represents only 1–2%, wheras SSA/P constitute up to 20% of all serrated lesions. HPs are most common (80%) of all serrated polyps but are considered to have a low potential of developing colorectal cancer. Due to their subtle appearence, detection and removal of serrated polyps pose a major challenge to endoscopists. Considering that precancerous serrated polyps are predominately located in the right colon could explain why interval cancers most frequently appear in the proximal colon and why colonoscopy is less protective against colon cancer in the proximal compared to the distal colon. Despite the significant impact on colorectal cancer incidence, the aetiology, incidence, prevalence, and natural history of serrated polyps is incompletely known. To effectively detect, remove, and follow-up serrated polyps, endoscopists and pathologists should be well-informed about serrated polyps. This review highlights colorectal serrated polyps in terms of biology, types, diagnosis, therapy, and follow-up. 相似文献

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps(SSA/Ps) are early precursor lesions in the serrated neoplasia pathway, which results in colorectal carcinomas with BRAF mutations, methylation for DNA repair genes, a Cp G island methylator phenotype, and high levels of microsatellite instability. Some of these lesions can rapidly become dysplastic or invasive carcinomas that exhibit high lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis potentials. Detecting serrated lesions, including SSA/Ps with and without dysplasia/carcinoma, is critical, but SSA/Ps can be difficult to detect, are inconsistently identified by endoscopists and pathologists, and are often incompletely resected. Therefore, SSA/Ps are considered to be major contributors to "interval cancers". If colonoscopists can identify the specific endoscopic characteristics of SSA/Ps, their detection and the effectiveness of colonoscopy may improve. Here, the endoscopic features of SSA/Ps with and without dysplasia/carcinoma, including the characteristics determined using magnifying endoscopy, are reviewed in the context of previous reports. Endoscopically, these subtle polyps are like hyperplastic polyps, because they are slightly elevated and pale. Unlike hyperplastic polyps, SSA/Ps are usually larger than 5 mm, frequently covered by a thin layer called the ‘‘mucus cap', and are more commonly located in the proximal colon. Magnifying narrow-band imaging findings, which include dark spots inside the crypts and varicose microvascular vessels, in addition to the type II-open pit patterns detected using magnifying chromoendoscopy, effectively differentiate SSA/Ps from hyperplastic polyps. The lesions' endoscopic characteristics, which include their(semi)pedunculated morphologies, double elevations, central depressions, and reddishness, and the use of magnifying endoscopy, might help to detect dysplasia/carcinoma within SSA/Ps. Greater awareness may promote further research into improving the detection, identification, and complete resection rates of SSA/Ps with and without dysplasia/carcinoma and reduce the interval cancer rates. 相似文献

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps(known as SSA/Ps) may play an important role in the development of interval colorectal cancer(CRC). These lesions are more difficult to detect with conventional endoscopy and they may quickly turn into CRC, especially when dysplasia has developed. Therefore, primary or secondary chemoprevention may be an appealing strategy at a population level. Calcium and vitamin D have been shown in epidemiological studies to reduce the risk of CRC and conventional adenomas, but the evidence regarding their effect on SSA/Ps is controversial. In this editorial we comment on the results of a recent randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of calcium and vitamin D on the development of serrated lesions, summarizing the possible antineoplastic mechanisms of calcium and vitamin D, and discussing the differences found with previous observational reports. 相似文献

AIM: To elucidate the colonoscopic features of serrated lesions of the colorectum using magnifying colonoscopy.METHODS: Broad division of serrated lesions of the colorectum into hyperplastic polyps (HPs), traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs), and sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) has been proposed on the basis of recent molecular biological studies. However, few reports have examined the colonoscopic features of these divisions, including magnified colonoscopic findings. This study examined 118 lesions excised in our hospital as suspected serrated lesions after magnified observation between January 2008 and September 2011. Patient characteristics (sex, age), conventional colonoscopic findings (location, size, morphology, color, mucin) and magnified colonoscopic findings (pit pattern diagnosis) were interpreted by five colonoscopists with experience in over 1000 colonoscopies, and were compared with histopathological diagnoses. The pit patterns were categorized according to Kudo’s classification, but a more detailed investigation was also performed using the subclassification [type II-Open (type II-O), type II-Long (type II-L), or type IV-Serrated (type IV-S)] proposed by Kimura T and Yamano H.RESULTS: Lesions comprised 23 HPs (23/118: 19.5%), 39 TSAs (39/118: 33.1%: with cancer in one case), 50 SSA/Ps (50/118: 42.4%: complicated with cancer in three cases), and six others (6/118: 5.1%). We excluded six others, including three regular adenomas, one hamartoma, one inflammatory polyp, and one juvenile polyp for further analysis. Conventional colonoscopy showed that SSA/Ps were characterized as larger in diameter than TSAs and HPs (SSA/P vs HP, 13.62 ± 8.62 mm vs 7.74 ± 3.24 mm, P < 0.001; SSA/Ps vs TSA, 13.62 ± 8.62 mm vs 9.89 ± 5.73 mm, P < 0.01); common in the right side of the colon [HPs, 30.4% (7/23): TSAs, 20.5% (8/39): SSA/P, 84.0% (42/50), P < 0.001]; flat-elevated lesion [HPs, 30.4% (7/23): TSAs, 5.1% (2/39): SSA/Ps, 90.0% (45/50), P < 0.001]; normal-colored or pale imucosa [HPs, 34.8% (8/23): TSAs, 10.3% (4/39): SSA/Ps, 80% (40/50), P < 0.001]; and with large amounts of mucin [HPs, 21.7% (5/23): TSAs, 17.9% (7/39): SSA/Ps, 72.0% (36/50), P < 0.001]. In magnified colonoscopic findings, 17 lesions showed either type II pit pattern alone or partial type II pit pattern as the basic architecture, with 14 HPs (14/17, 70.0%) and 3 SSA/Ps. Magnified colonoscopy showed the type II-O pit pattern as characteristic of SSA/Ps [sensitivity 83.7% (41/49), specificity 85.7% (54/63)]. Cancer was also present in three lesions, in all of which a type VI pit pattern was also present within the same lesion. There were four HPs and four TSAs each. The type IV-S pit pattern was characteristic of TSAs [sensitivity 96.7% (30/31), specificity 89.9% (72/81)]. Cancer was present in one lesion, in which a type VI pit pattern was also present within the same lesion. In our study, serrated lesions of the colorectum also possessed the features described in previous reports of conventional colonoscopic findings. The pit pattern diagnosis using magnifying colonoscopy, particularly magnified colonoscopic findings using subclassifications of surface architecture, reflected the pathological characteristics of SSA/Ps and TSAs, and will be useful for colonoscopic diagnosis.CONCLUSION: We suggest that this system could be a good diagnostic tool for SSA/Ps using magnifying colonoscopy. 相似文献

Serrated polyps have long been thought to lack malignant potential in the human colorectum. However, identification of the serrated pathway to colorectal cancer based on molecular biology has improved our understanding of the pathogenesis of colorectal cancers. Accordingly, serrated polyps such as traditional serrated adenoma and sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/P) are now considered to be precursor lesions of the serrated pathway. Recently, serrated polyps were classified into three subtypes, consisting of hyperplastic polyp, SSA/P, and traditional serrated adenoma, according to the World Health Organization classification. It has been suggested that SSA/P in the proximal colon are a precursor lesion of pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and are characterized by BRAF mutation and a CpG island methylator phenotype with or without microsatellite instability. However, SSA/P is more challenging to detect by colonoscopy and is likely to account for some interval cancers, particularly in the proximal colon because it presents flat or sessile, isochroous appearance, and occasionally has a mucous cap. Furthermore, the possibility has been raised that pathologists misclassify SSA/P as hyperplastic polyp. It is important for gastroenterologists to recognize the endoscopic features of serrated polyps to facilitate their detection and removal and also to establish postpolypectomy surveillance guidelines. In this review, we discuss the recent classification of serrated polyps; the molecular characteristics of the serrated pathway; appropriate diagnostic methods using endoscopy, including a new image‐enhanced endoscopic technique; and management of these lesions. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Mutations in BRAF have been linked with colorectal cancers (CRC) showing high level microsatellite instability (MSI-H). However, the distribution of BRAF mutations in MSI-H cancers remains to be clarified with respect to precursor lesions and the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). METHODS: Forty three hyperplastic polyps (HP), nine mixed polyps (MP), five serrated adenomas (SA), 28 conventional adenomas (AD), 18 hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancers (HNPCC), and 127 sporadic CRC (46 MSI-H and 81 non-MSI-H) were collected from patients undergoing colectomy for either CRC or hyperplastic polyposis. Twenty five of 57 serrated lesions were derived from four patients with hyperplastic polyposis. HP were further subdivided according to recently documented morphological criteria into 27 classical HP and 16 variant lesions described as "sessile serrated adenoma" (SSA). All tumours were screened for BRAF activating mutations. RESULTS: The BRAF mutation was more frequent in SSA (75%) and MP (89%) than in classical HP (19%), SA (20%), and AD (0%) (p<0.0001), and also in sporadic MSI-H cancers (76%) compared with HNPCC (0%) and sporadic non-MSI-H cancers (9%) (p<0.0001). The BRAF mutation was identified more often in CIMP-high serrated polyps (72%) and CIMP-high CRC (77%) than in CIMP-low (30%) and CIMP-negative (13%) polyps (p = 0.002) as well as CIMP-low (18%) and CIMP-negative (0%) CRC (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The BRAF mutation was frequently seen in SSA and in sporadic MSI-H CRC, both of which were associated with DNA methylation. Sporadic MSI-H cancers may originate in SSA and not adenomas, and BRAF mutation and DNA methylation are early events in this "serrated" pathway. 相似文献

Hyperplastic polyps have traditionally been considered not to have malignant potential. New pathological classification of serrated polyps and recent discoveries about the serrated pathway of carcinogenesis have revolutionized the concepts and revitalized the research in this area. Until recently, it has been thought that most colorectal cancers arise from conventional adenomas via the traditional tumor suppressor pathway initiated by a mutation of the APC gene, but it has been found that this pathway accounts for only approximately 70%-80% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. The majority of the remaining colorectal cancer cases follow an alternative pathway leading to CpG island methylator phenotype carcinoma with BRAF mutation and with or without microsatellite instability. The mechanism of carcinomas arising from this alternative pathway seems to begin with an activating mutation of the BRAF oncogene. Serrated polyposis syndrome is a relatively rare condition characterized by multiple and/or large serrated polyps of the colon. Clinical characteristics, etiology and relationship of serrated polyposis syndrome to CRC have not been clarified yet. Patients with this syndrome show a high risk of CRC and both sporadic and hereditary cases have been described. Clinical criteria have been used for diagnosis and frequent colonoscopy surveillance should be performed in order to prevent colorectal cancer. In this review, we try to gather new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of serrated polyps in order to understand their possible clinical implications and to make an approach to the management of this syndrome. 相似文献

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) are early precursor lesions in the serrated neoplasia pathway, which results in BRAF‐mutated colorectal carcinomas with not only high levels of microsatellite instability but also microsatellite stable. SSA/Ps with advanced histology, including cytological dysplasia or minimally invasive carcinomas, are important lesions because SSA/Ps are considered major contributors to “interval cancers” and these lesions can rapidly become dysplastic or invasive carcinomas. Clinicopathologically, SSA/Ps with dysplasia or invasive carcinoma were associated with advanced age, female sex, and proximal colon. Although SSA/Ps with submucosal invasive carcinoma were smaller and invaded less deeply into the submucosal layer than conventional tubular adenomas with submucosal invasive carcinoma, SSA/Ps with submucosal invasive carcinoma frequently had a mucinous component and exhibited a higher potential for lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis. In an SSA/P series, endoscopic characteristics, including (semi)pedunculated morphology, double elevation, central depression, and reddishness, may help accurately diagnose SSA/Ps with advanced histology. Removal of SSA/Ps with dysplasia or invasive carcinoma was recommended. Endoscopic treatment such as endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection is useful for those lesions. However, surgical resection with lymph node dissection might be indicated when SSA/Ps with invasive carcinoma are endoscopically suspected, because these have the high risk of lymph node metastasis. Greater awareness may promote further research into improving the detection, recognition, and complete resection rates of SSA/Ps with dysplasia or invasive carcinoma and reduce the interval cancer rates. 相似文献

Serrated adenocarcinoma is a recently described subset of colorectal cancer(CRC),which account for about10%of all CRCs and follows an alternative pathway in which serrated polyps replace the traditional adenoma as the precursor lesion to CRC.Serrated polyps form a heterogeneous group of colorectal lesions that includes hyperplastic polyps(HPs),sessile serrated adenoma(SSA),traditional serrated adenoma(TSA)and mixed polyps.HPs are the most common serrated polyp followed by SSA and TSA.This distinct histogenesis is believed to have a major influence in prevention strategies,patient prognosis and therapeutic impact.Genetically,serrated polyps exhibited also a distinct pattern,with KRAS and BRAF having an important contribution to its development.Two other molecular changes that have been implicated in the serrated pathway include microsatellite instability and the CpG island methylator phenotype.In the present review we will address the current knowledge of serrated polyps,clinical pathological features and will update the most recent findings of its molecular pathways.The understanding of their biology and malignancy potential is imperative to implement a surveillance approach in order to prevent colorectal cancer development. 相似文献

Serrated adenomas are categorized as sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs). SSAs are more
prevalent in the proximal colon and lack classic dysplasia, whereas TSAs are more prevalent in the rectosigmoid and have cytologic
dysplasia. Serrated adenomas may progress to colorectal adenocarcinoma through diverse molecular alterations. Colonoscopy
is the only test for the early detection of serrated adenomas that allows inspection of the entire colon and same-session
biopsy sampling or polypectomy, if necessary. If an endoscopic biopsy at the right colon reveals SSA without cytologic dysplasia
or biopsy at the rectosigmoid reveals SSA or TSA, those polyps should be excised or surgically resected as necessary. Postpolypectomy
surveillance for removed SSAs without dysplasia and TSAs must be performed at 5- and 3-year intervals, respectively, with
colonoscopy to prevent recurrence and progression to colorectal adenocarcinoma. 相似文献

In recent years , a second pathway for colonic carcinogenesis , distinct from the adenomatous pathway, has been explored. This is referred to as serrated pathway and includes three types of polyp,characterised by a serrated appearance of the crypts:hyperplastic polyps(HP),sessile serrated adenomas(SSA)or lesions,and traditional serrated adenomas.Each lesion has its own genetic,as well as macroscopic and microscopic morphological features.Because of their flat aspect,their detection is easier with chromoendoscopy(carmin indigo or narrow-band imaging).However,as we show in this review,the distinction between SSA and HP is quite difficult.It is now recommended to resect in one piece as it is possible the serrated polyps with a control in a delay depending on the presence or not of dysplasia.These different types of lesion are described in detail in the present review in general population,in polyposis and in inflammatory bowel diseases patients.This review highlights the need to improve characterization and understanding of this way of colorectal cancerogenesis. 相似文献

In this review, I outline the characteristic endoscopic findings of serrated lesions of the colorectum based on image enhanced endoscopy(IEE). Histopathologically, lesions with serrated structures are typically classified into the following three types based: hyperplastic polyps(HPs), traditional serrated adenomas(TSAs), and sessile serrated adenoma/polyps(SSA/Ps). Both HP and SSA/P often present as dark-green colors on auto fluorescence imaging(AFI) colonoscopy that are similar to the normal surrounding mucosa. In contrast, TSAs often have elevated shapes and present as magenta colors that are similar to the tubular adenomas. The superficial type of TSA also includes many lesions that present as magenta colors. When SSA/Ps are associated with cytological dysplasia, many lesions present with magenta colors, whereas lesions that are not associated with cytological dysplasia present with dark-green colors. When observed via narrow band imaging(NBI), many SSA/P include lesions with strong mucous adhesions. Because these lesions are observed with reddish mucous adhesions, we refer to them as "red cap sign" and place such signs among the typical findings of SSA/P. Because the dilatation of the pit in SSA/P is observed as a round/oval black dot on magnified observations, we refer to this finding as Ⅱ-dilatation pit(Ⅱ-D pit) and also positioned it as a characteristic finding of SSA/P. In contrast, dilatations of the capillary vessels surrounding the glands, such as those that occur in tubular adenoma, are not considered to be useful for differentiating HPs from SSA/Ps. However, in cases in which SSA/P is associated with cytological dysplasia, the dilatation of capillary vessels is observed in the same area. When submucosal layer invasion occurs in the same area, the blood flow presents with irregularities that are similar to those of common colorectal cancer at an early stage and disappears as the invasion proceeds deeply. The surface pattern of invasive cancer that is observed at the tumor surface is also likely to disappear. Based on the above results, we considered that the differentiations between HP and TSA, between TSA and SSA/P, and between HP and SSA/P might become easier due to the concomitant use of white light observation and IEE. We also concluded that AFI and NBI can be useful modalities for SSA/P lesions associated with cytological dysplasia. 相似文献

Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review is to summarize the management of serrated colorectal polyps (SPs), with a particular focus on the most common premalignant SP, sessile serrated adenoma or polyp (SSA/P). These lesions present a challenge for endoscopists with respect to detection and resection, and are also susceptible to pathologic misdiagnosis.Recent Findings
Patients with SSA/Ps are at an increased risk of future colorectal neoplasia, including advanced polyps and cancer. Reasonable benchmarks for SP detection rates are 5–7% for SSA/Ps and 10–12% for proximal SPs. Certain endoscopic techniques such as chromoendoscopy, narrow band imaging, water immersion, and wide-angle viewing may improve SSA/P detection. Emerging endoscopic techniques such as underwater polypectomy, suction pseudopolyp technique, and piecemeal cold snare polypectomy are helpful tools for the endoscopist’s armamentarium for removing SSA/Ps. Proper orientation of SSA/P specimens can improve the accuracy of pathology readings. Patients with confirmed SSA/Ps and proximal HPs should undergo surveillance at intervals similar to what is recommended for patients with conventional adenomas. Patients with SSA/Ps may also be able to lower their risk of future polyps by targeting modifiable risk factors including tobacco and alcohol use and high-fat diets. NSAIDs and aspirin appear to be protective agents.Summary
SPs and SSA/Ps in particular are important colorectal cancer precursors that merit special attention to ensure adequate detection, resection, and surveillance.15.

Current algorithms for screening and surveillance for colon cancer are valuable, but may be limited by the underlying nature of the targeted neoplastic lesions. Although part of the success of adenoma removal relates to interruption of so-called "adenoma-carcinoma sequence", an alternate serrated pathway to colon cancer may pose difficulties with the ultimate results achieved by traditional colonoscopic methods. The endpoint carcinoma in this unique pathway may be derived from a dysplastic serrated adenoma. These tend to be located primarily in the right colon, especially in females, and are frequently associated with co-existent colon cancer. Unfortunately, however, there are few, if any, other identifiable risk factors, including age or family history of colon polyps or colon cancer. Moreover, this alternate serrated pathway may itself also be quite biologically heterogeneous as reflected in sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) with virtually exclusive molecular signatures defined by the presence of either BRAF or KRAS mutations. Screening algorithms in the future may need to be modified and individualized, depending on new information that likely will emerge on the natural history of these biologically heterogeneous lesions that differs from traditional adenomatous polyps. 相似文献

Based on the concept of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, most colorectal cancers are considered to arise from conventional adenomas. However, recent studies suggested that a subset of colorectal cancers develop through the serrated neoplastic pathway. It has also been documented that serrated polyps can rapidly transform into invasive cancers even when they are small in size. We now describe a case of a sessile serrated adenoma/polyp which had been followed up for 4 years but eventually showed rapid transformation into an advanced cancer accompanied by a remarkable morphological change within only 13 months. Retrospective genetic and epigenetic analyses showed microsatellite instability, CpG island methylator phenotype-positive, and BRAF mutation in the lesion, suggesting the tumor had developed through the serrated neoplastic pathway. This case may provide valuable information about the natural history of sessile serrated adenoma/polyps which eventually progress to advanced cancers. 相似文献

MicroRNAs have been increasingly recognized as useful biomarkers for colorectal cancers (CRC). We have recently observed that microRNA-31 (miR-31) expression is associated with BRAF mutation and prognosis in CRC. Moreover, high miR-31 expression is frequently detected in sessile serrated adenomas compared with hyperplastic polyps (HPs). These results suggest that miR-31 may contribute to the progression of serrated lesions. At a follow-up colonoscopy, we observed the case of a 75-year-old man with a 7-mm flat-elevated lesion in the cecum and diagnosed the lesion as an early invasive carcinoma with serrated features. Tissue specimens were obtained from the representative areas to compare the molecular alterations in the carcinoma component with those in the HP component. Higher miR-31 expression was observed in the carcinoma component (57-fold increase) and the HP component (8-fold increase) compared with the paired normal mucosa, suggesting that miR-31 may be one of the key molecules in serrated pathway progression. 相似文献

Serrated polyps of the colorectum have received much attention in recent literature. Several classifications have been proposed and created considerable confusion. Morphology and molecular biology have greatly contributed to the better identification of these entity. The recently published WHO classification, proposed using the term of "serrated polyp" as a generic term and defined sporadic serrated polyps as "a heterogeneous group" of lesions characterized morphologically by a serrated (sawtooth or stellate) architecture of the epithelial component which include hyperplastic polyps (HP), sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/P) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA). With the development of molecular biology, it is now clear that the serrated pathway is one of the new carcinogenic pathways in the colon. There is now strong evidence that some serrated polyps correspond to precursors of some sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this article is to summarize the present data concerning the morphological and molecular characteristics of these serrated lesions and to give some recommendations for the management of such lesions. 相似文献

Aims
Known collectively as serrated polyps, hyperplastic polyps (HP), sessile serrated adenomas (SSA/SSP) and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) may represent a spectrum of increasing malignant potential with characteristic immunological markers. There is increasing evidence that HP, SSA/SSP and TSA are biologically different and are likely to represent a spectrum along the serrated polyp pathway. Although there is general consensus about the diagnostic features of serrated polyps, the morphological differences between the categories are often subtle. This study compares the expression of p53 and P504S among serrated polyps. Sixty seven randomly selected biopsies (n = 59) and resection specimens (n = 8) histologically diagnosed for SSA/SSP, TSA and HP (19, 30 and 18 specimens, respectively) were obtained. 相似文献20.
Hyperplastic polyps of the colorectum—Innocent or guilty? 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2
Jass JR 《Diseases of the colon and rectum》2001,44(2):163-166
Hyperplastic polyps have traditionally been regarded as nonneoplastic polyps lacking malignant potential. The demonstration of genetic alterations within these lesions indicates an underlying neoplastic cause. There is evidence that hyperplastic polyps are heterogeneous. Most are innocuous, but subsets may have malignant potential. Risk factors for neoplastic progression include multiple, large, and proximally located polyps. Aberrant methylation resulting in the silencing of cancer genes may be an important underlying mechanism, particularly in pathways progessing to tumors with DNA microsatellite instability. Lesions intermediate between hyperplastic polyp and cancer include admixed polyps and serrated adenomas. Currently, pathologists have different thresholds for diagnosing serrated adenomas, including the distinction from large hyperplastic polyps. Reasons for over looking this pathway in the past may include rapid tumor progression and the fact that proximally located hyperplastic polyps may be flat and not especially numerous. Management of the serrated pathway of colorectal neoplasia may require novel approaches to screening, early detection, and prevention. 相似文献
