The Coexistence of Colorectal Polyps in the Right Colon Increases the Malignant Risk of Laterally Spreading Tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The coexistence of colorectal polyps with laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) is commonly observed during colonoscopy. However, there are rare studies that assess the malignant risks for LSTs with colorectal polyps, which might largely contribute to further strategies of treatment and follow-up plans in LSTs.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study that enrolled 206 patients with LSTs in the Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. The subjects with LSTs were divided into two groups: the nonpolyp group with 89 patients and the polyp group with 117 patients. Binary logistic regression was used to identify the independent predictors of outcomes of interest.

Results
