ObjectivesAdenomas are known precursors to colorectal cancer (CRC). Current UK post-polypectomy surveillance guidelines use polyp size, numbers, and histology to stratify the risk of patients developing metachronous polyps or CRC. However, these risk guidelines suffer from poor predictive value, often leading to under/over surveillance. DesignAdenomas removed from 1257 patients at bowel screening colonoscopy were retrospectively identified to investigate mutational profile and protein expressio...
