flag People with both adenomas and serrated polyps have a fivefold higher risk of advanced colon precancer changes, research shows.

flag A new study of over 8,400 colonoscopies finds that people with both adenomas and serrated polyps face a fivefold higher risk of advanced precancerous changes in the colon. flag Researchers from Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre discovered nearly half of those with serrated polyps also had adenomas, indicating this high-risk combination is more common than thought. flag The polyps may follow separate cancer pathways that develop simultaneously, underscoring the need for early detection and regular screening, especially for adults over 45 or those with a family history of bowel cancer. flag Early removal of polyps can prevent cancer progression.
