Abstract:
In this paper, we have considered the indications for coloscopy for the screening of colon polyposis. On the basis of its sensitivity in detection and follow-up of colo-rectal cancer, we tried to determine the exact procedure to be followed subsequent to the discovery and ablation of a polyp. We have outlined the following parameters to be observed during the period of follow-up: dimension, number, histologic features of the polyp, age, general conditions and familiarity of the patient for colorectal cancer.
