[Comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of different variants for treating gastric polyposis]

An analysis of long-term results of different kinds of treatment of 922 patients with polyposis of the stomach has been made. Endoscopic polypectomy was found to have most favorable results. Treatment of benign polyps was more effective as compared with transitional and malignant ones. In patients with multiple polyps the development of gastric cancer was observed in most cases. The authors make a conclusion that endoscopic control should be permanently performed in patients with polyposis of the stomach.
