Management of malignant intestinal polyps requires balancing residual disease risk against surgical risks. Surgical resection is often justified due to recurrence risk, unless the patient is a poor surgical candidate.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Context:

  • Endoscopic polyp removal is standard for adenomas, but management of malignant polyps remains debated.
  • Assessing residual disease risk versus surgical complications is critical for patient care.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the risk of residual disease after endoscopic removal of malignant intestinal polyps.
  • To identify factors associated with increased risk of residual disease and recurrence.

Summary:

  • Of 35 malignant polyps, 16 were carcinoma in situ and 19 invasive. Seven invasive cases avoided surgery due to patient factors or minimal invasion.
  • Twelve patients underwent resection; 3 (25%) had residual disease, all with positive resection margins.
  • Risk factors like lymphovascular invasion and positive margins indicate higher recurrence potential.

Impact:

  • Findings support surgical resection for malignant polyps when recurrence risk is elevated, provided the patient is fit for surgery.
  • Helps guide clinical decision-making in managing patients with endoscopically resected malignant polyps.
