Search for: [Abstract = "ge \- in females. No significant structural differences in hyperplastic polyps between women and men were observed. The only difference in serrated polyps' structure concerned polyps' diameter in patients over 70 years of age \(with larger lesions in men\). In comparison to the older group, all polyps' types in patients up to 50 years of age were significantly more frequently found in rectum. The observation concerned both sexes equally. The topographic differences in polyp localization in relation to sex were found only in case of adenomatous and hyperplastic polyps in patients over 70 years of age. A relative shift of adenomatous polyps into distal part of the colon was observed in females, whereas hyperplastic polyps in the distal part of colon was more often found in males over 70 years old. Canceration potential index \(CPI\) values in all age groups were higher in males than in females. CPI values in male increased with age, while in female patients no statistically significant differences were observed. In patients over 50 years of age the largest part of total CPI was caused by rectal lesions, whereas in younger patients \- distal colon lesions. In males below 50 years of age CPI value in proximal colon was significantly higher than in females of the same age. The presented results show a dominant role of classical carcinogenesis pathwa"]
