Longitudinal Outcome Study of Sessile Serrated Adenomas of the Colorectum: An Increased Risk for Subsequent Right-sided Colorectal Carcinoma

Sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) are associated with colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) that demonstrate high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). Currently, SSAs are managed clinically in a similar fashion to adenomatous polyps (APs). We studied the natural history of SSA by analyzing the outcome of previously undiagnosed SSAs and comparing it with that of hyperplastic polyps (HPs) and APs. All colorectal polyps diagnosed between 1980 and 2001 as HP...
