Tu1505 THE PREVALENCE OF COLONIC POLYPS AND COLORECTAL CANCER IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRIC NEOPLASM: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Gastric adenomas are neoplastic with similar microscopic findings to those seen in colonic adenomas. Around 8-59% of gastric adenomas are associated with synchronous gastric carcinoma and hence repeat upper endoscopic surveillance after one year is usually recommended. On the other hand, the data has been scarce and inconsistent with regards to their association with colonic polyps and colorectal cancer. We aimed to analyze the previously published literature evaluating the association between gastric neoplasm and colonic polyps and colorectal cancer.
