Risk of proximal colon neoplasia with distal hyperplastic polyps: a meta-analysis.
Arch Intern Med. 2005; (4): 382-90
Most guidelines for colorectal cancer screening do not consider distal hyperplastic polyps (HPs) to be markers for proximal colon neoplasia. However, many studies have shown an increased risk of proximal neoplasia (PN) in patients with distal HPs. We performed a systematic review to assess the association between distal HPs and PN.
