Malignant changes were found in 16 of 139 neoplastic polyps removed during endoscopic procedures. Regular follow-up is crucial for patients who have undergone endoscopic polypectomy to monitor for any further developments.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Endoscopic polypectomy is a common procedure for removing gastrointestinal polyps.
  • Neoplastic polyps carry a risk of malignant transformation.
  • Effective post-polypectomy management is essential for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report findings on malignant transformation in endoscopically removed polyps.
  • To present a therapeutic strategy for post-endoscopic polypectomy management.
  • To emphasize the importance of systematic follow-up for patients.

Main Methods:

  • Endoscopic removal of 148 polyps from 116 patients.
  • Histopathological examination of removed polyps.
  • Analysis of neoplastic polyps for malignant changes.

Main Results:

  • Malignant transformation was identified in 16 out of 139 neoplastic polyps.
  • The study provides data on the incidence of malignancy in this polyp cohort.

Conclusions:

  • A significant proportion of neoplastic polyps showed malignant transformation.
  • A clear therapeutic strategy and systematic follow-up are vital after endoscopic polypectomy.
  • Ongoing surveillance is recommended for polypectomized patients.
