Recurrence of Colorectal Neoplastic Polyps After Incomplete Resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Incomplete resection of neoplastic polyps is considered an important reason for the development of colorectal cancer. However, there are no data on the natural history of polyps that were incompletely removed.

Objective

To examine the risk for metachronous neoplasia during surveillance colonoscopy after documented incomplete polyp resection.

Design

Observational cohort study of patients who participated in the CARE (Complete Adenoma REsection) study (2009 to 2012).

Setting

2 academic medical centers.

Patients

Patients who had resection of a 5- to 20-mm neoplastic polyp, had a documented complete or incomplete resection, and had a surveillance examination.

Measurements

Segment metachronous neoplasia, defined as the proportion of colon se
