Previous studies have indicated that the rectosigmoid colon location is an independent risk factor for cancer in large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps. Surgical procedures for cancer involving the rectum have higher morbidity than colonic resections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this study from the Australian consortium, the features of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps in the rectum were compared with those of colonic lesions. The median polyp size in the rectum was larger at 40 mm versus 30 mm in the colon, and rectal lesions were more likely than nonrectal lesions to be granular (79% vs 50%), nodular appearing (53% vs 17%), tubulovillous in histopathology (72% vs 47%), and cancerous (15% vs 6%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
