POLYP ĐẠI TRỰC TRÀNG - NGUY CƠ TIỀM ẨN CẦN TẦM SOÁT SỚM

Colorectal polyps are abnormal growths that develop on the lining of the large intestine. Most polyps are benign; however, some may progress to cancer if not detected and treated in a timely manner.

After removal via endoscopy, polyps are sent for histopathological examination to assess their nature, determine the level of risk, and guide appropriate follow-up care.

High-risk types of polyps

Certain types of polyps are associated with a higher risk of progressing to colorectal cancer, including:

• Adenomas: The most common type of polyp. The risk increases when:
• The size is 1 cm or larger
• Abnormal cells are present (precancerous changes)
• The structure is villous or tubulovillous
• Sessile serrated polyps:
• Higher risk when the size is 1 cm or larger
• Presence of abnormal cells
• Traditional serrated adenomas:
• Rare but associated with cancer risk
• Often occur alongside other high-risk polyps

Factors that increase risk

The likelihood of progression to colorectal cancer increases in the presence of:

• Three or more polyps
• Sessile (non-pedunculated) polyps, which are more difficult to remove completely
• Polyps located in the right colon (often asymptomatic and harder to detect early)

Screening recommendations

Experts recommend that individuals aged 45 and above undergo periodic colonoscopy screening to detect and remove polyps at an early, precancerous stage.

Modern endoscopy combined with accurate histopathological analysis serves as an effective “protective barrier,” helping prevent colorectal cancer and safeguard long-term digestive health.

Take proactive steps to protect your health

Early screening not only enables timely detection but also reduces treatment costs and improves outcomes.
