Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The purpose is to compare the molecular characteristics of serrated adenomas (SAs) with those of conventional adenomas (CADs) and hyperplastic polyps (HPs). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We evaluated the proliferative activity and molecular alterations in 47 SAs (25 pure-type and 22 mixed-type), 71 CADs, and 23 HPs. RESULTS: The proliferative activity of SAs, as evaluated by Ki-67 expression, was intermediate...
