Search for: [Abstract = "The aim of the study was to assess current frequency of all types of colon polyps potentially able to develop cancer \(adenomatous, hyperplastic or serrated\) as well as to determine polyp occurrence, its histological features and localization in relation to age and sex. We also tried to work out a total canceration potential index in relation to age, sex, number and histology of polyp carrying the risk of cancer development and foci of already developed cancer simultaneous with polyps. The study group consisted of 797 patients who between 2000 and 2006 was admitted to General and Oncologic Surgery Ward at the L. Rydygier's Provincial Specialist Hospital L. in Cracow to perform colonoscopy with polypectomy. Patients who underwent polypectomy constituted ca 10% of all patients with colonoscopies performed in this time in Surgery Ward at the L. Rydygier’s Hospital. In total, 1555 polyps \(1176 adenomatous polyps \(75.6%\), 291 hyperplastic polyps \(18.7%\) and 88 serrated polyps \(5.7%\)\) and 120 synchronous cancer foci were found in the studied population. All polyp’s type were significantly more frequent in men than in women. In men group the number of polyps increased in relation to age continuously, while in women polyps were most common in group 51\-70 years. The performed analysis has shown diversity in frequency of each type of polyp in colon se"]
