The Association Between Molecular Markers in Colorectal Sessile Serrated Polypsand Colorectal Cancer Risk

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify histologic characteristics and molecular markers associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer in patients with sessile serrated colorectal polyps (SSPs). The projects specific aims are as follows: 1) Estimate the risk of colorectal cancer or advanced polyps in patients who have SSPs with cytological dysplasia compared to patients with SSPs that lack cytological dysplasia; and 2) Evaluate if the risk of incident colorectal cancer or advanced polyps varies according to methylation markers in SSPs.
