Colorectal hyperplastic polyps and risk of recurrence of adenomas and hyperplastic polyps. Polyps Prevention Study

Lancet. 1999 Nov 27;354(9193):1873-4. doi: 10.1016/s0140-6736(99)04469-4.

Abstract

We examined data from two large colorectal chemoprevention trials for possible associations of hyperplastic polyps and adenomas with subsequent development of these lesions. Hyperplastic polyps do not predict metachronous adenomas.
