Abstract excerpt
A large number of serrated polyps with malignant potential in the proximal colon were underestimated using currently available criteria mostly based on architectural and cytological features, contributing to proximal interval colorectal cancers. Recently, increasing evidences indicate that BRAF((V600E)) mutation is a specific molecular feature and driver of the serrated pathway, and proximal serrated polyps with...
