Colon polypCalibrated hoodPolyp sizeAccurate measurement of polyp size during colonoscopy is important because the size is a surrogate marker of cancer, but a standardized measurement technique to measure polyp size has yet to be determined. We have developed a new device "a novel calibrated hood....

Tailored navigation—counseling about screening options and reasons for non-completion—may offer a means to reach patients overdue in spite of prior offers [34].

Is foveolar hyperplasia precancerous? Since the hyperplastic polyp very probably doesnot evolvefrom focal foveolar hyperplasia, and the latter is not a pre-neoplastic condition or lesion, it is proposed that focal foveolar hyperplasia should no longer be referred to as "gastric polyp," which would...
