Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have examined cellular kinetics and genetic abnormalities in colorectal polyps with epithelial serrated proliferation (CP-ESP), including hyperplastic polyps, serrated adenomas, and tubulovillous adenomas. However, difficulty in histologically classifying these lesions and the lack of clear-cut diagnostic criteria have led to inconsistent findings. Some 60 cases of CP-ESP and 6 cases of CP-ESP with...
