Case description

Endoscopy Video of Polyps of the Colon Colonoscopy is the primary screening test. All polyps identified at colonoscopy are removed by colonoscopic polypectomy. Endoscopic mucosal resection is required for deeply penetrating noncancerous polyps. Colonoscopy is repeated every ten years if the index colonoscopy revealed no lesions, but is repeated more frequently if adenomatous polyps were identified at this colonoscopy due to an increased risk of subsequent polyps or colon cancer. Flexible sigmoidoscopy every few years with annual fecal occult blood testing is a significantly less sensitive screening protocol.
