Flat-elevated colorectal lesions show a high potential for rapid malignant transformation. These lesions, often overlooked, are significant precursors to invasive colorectal cancer, warranting greater clinical attention.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • The malignant potential of flat-elevated colorectal adenomas remains under investigation.
  • Understanding the progression of colorectal neoplastic lesions is crucial for early cancer detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the malignant transformation potential of flat-elevated colorectal lesions with granular laterally spreading tumors (GLST) and polypoid lesions.
  • To assess the rate of atypia and invasive carcinoma in different types of colorectal neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • Macroscopic classification of 130 colorectal neoplastic lesions (≥1 cm) into flat-elevated, GLST, and polypoid types.
  • Histopathological analysis of adenomatous architecture, atypia, and presence of invasive carcinoma.

Main Results:

  • Flat-elevated lesions exhibited a significantly higher rate of carcinoma (77%) compared to polypoid (45%) and GLST (42%) types.
  • Carcinomas in flat-elevated lesions had a higher rate of submucosal invasion (24%) than those in polypoid (3%) or GLST (0%) lesions.
  • All non-cancerous flat-elevated lesions showed severe atypia, unlike polypoid and GLST types.

Conclusions:

  • Flat-elevated colorectal neoplasms possess a high malignant potential and are significant precursors to colorectal cancer.
  • These findings emphasize the need for increased clinical focus on flat-elevated colorectal lesions.
  • Further research into the early detection and management of flat-elevated colorectal neoplasms is warranted.
