Increasing Prevalence of Right-Sided Colonic Adenomas in a High-Volume Endoscopy Department in Romania: Implications for Colorectal Cancer Screening

Abstract

An increasing trend of polyp detection rate in the right-sided colon was documented, with an increasing prevalence of right-sided adenomas. The evaluation of the proximal colon is particularly important in males aged over 48. A clear-cut risk of HGD in the diminutive polyps and in the middle age subjects has been also observed.
