Verification of the increase in concomitant dysplasia and cancer with the size of sessile serrated lesions.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sessile serrated lesion (SSL) size and the comorbidity rate of SSL with dysplasia (SSLD) and cancer in SSL (SSL-cancer). Patients and methods This retrospective, single-center analysis identified SSL cases that underwent endoscopic resection between January 2015 and December 2022. The prevalence of SSL, SSLD, and SSL-cancer and their annual trends were assessed. The tumor diameter was stratified as 0 to 5 mm, 6 to 9 mm, 10 to 19 mm, and ≥ 20 mm in size. Furthermore, the frequency of SSL-D/SSL-cancer was determined in each group. Results The prevalence of SSL was 2.9% (1328/45799). This prevalence was 1.8% (112/6192) in 2015 and 4.2% (230/5500) in 2022, indicating an increasing trend over ti
