THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Neoplastic polyps include adenomas and serrated types. Adenomas are the most likely to turn into cancer if given enough time to grow. Serrated polyps also may become cancerous, depending on their size and location. In general for neoplastic polyps, the larger the polyp, the greater the risk of cancer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adenomatous polyps, or adenomas, are higher-risk growths. About two-thirds of the polyps found during colonoscopies are adenomas. This type of polyp can take years to grow into cancer-after 10 years, about 14% may develop into colon cancer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three different polyps are villous, tubular and tubulovillous. Adenomatous polyps will gradually show dysplastic changes, which differentiates them from hyperplastic polyps. In general, colonic polyps are benign but those that develop high-grade dysplasia will become malignant with time.
