Low Colorectal Cancer Risk after Resection of High-Risk Pedunculated Polyps

Post-Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) colonoscopy represents a setting with an enriched prevalence of advanced adenomas. Due to an expected higher risk of Colorectal Cancer (CRC), post-polypectomy surveillance is recommended, generating a substantially increased load on endoscopy services. The aim of our study was to investigate post-polypectomy CRC risk in a screening population of FIT+ subjects after resection of low- (LRA) or high-risk adenomas (HRA).
