The marginally higher absolute incidence seemed insufficient for more intensive surveillance colonoscopy, but the significant difference suggested different follow-up strategies between patients with LRAs and those without adenomas...

...Tak Loon Khong; Xin-Hui Khoo; Ida Hilmi Introduction: Clinical practice guidelines recommend periodic colonoscopy surveillance following colorectal adenoma excision. Inappropriate use of post-polypectomy surveillance (PPS) is common and lead to improper resource utilization. The aim of this review...

.... Regular surveillance colonoscopies may permit earlier detection of CRC, with a corresponding improved prognosis. The interval between surveillance colonoscopies is dependent on each patient's personal risk profile. Although the same pathogenetic and molecular features detected in patients with sporadic...

To detect the development of dysplasia/intraepithelial neoplasia and colitis-associated CRC early, surveillance programs have been installed. However, the evidence of success for those surveillance programs is limited...
