Case description

Another image of the polyp. Colonic adenomas are typically asymptomatic and are most commonly found by means of endoscopic or radiologic imaging studies performed because of unrelated symptoms or for colorectal cancer screening. Since at least 25% of men and 15% of women who undergo colonoscopic screening by experienced endoscopists are found to have one or more adenomas, the cumulative burden of subsequent surveillance colonoscopy on the health care system is substantial.
