摘要
AIM: To investigate the distribution and frequency of advanced polyps over eight years. METHODS: 6424 colonoscopies were reviewed during the study period 1998 to 2005. The study period was subdivided into period Ⅰ: 1998 to 2001 and period Ⅱ: 2002-2005. RESULTS: 1856 polyps (33% advanced polyps) and 328 CRCs were detected. The mean ages of the patients with advanced polyps and cancer were 69.2 ± 12.0 and 71.6 ± 13.8 years, respectively. Advanced polyps were mainly left sided (59.5%). Advanced polyps were found in patients ≤ 60 years from 17.7% in periodⅠto 26.3% in period Ⅱ (P < 0.05), especially in male subjects ≤ 60 years (21.6% vs 31.6%, P < 0.05). Advanced tubulovillous polyps rose from 21.5% in period Ⅰto 29.5% in period Ⅱ (P < 0.05). Whereas cancers in male patients ≤ 60 years were similar in both periods: 23.2% vs 16.5% (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Advanced polyps increased significantly in the younger male group in the most recent period and there seems to be a shift towards a proximal location.
AIM： To investigate the distribution and frequency of advanced polyps over eight years.
METHODS：6424 colonoscopies were reviewea aunng the study period 1998 to 2005. The study period was subdivided into period I ： 1998 to 2001 and period 11： 2002-2005.
RESULTS： 1856 polyps （33% advanced polyps） and 328 CRCs were detected. The mean ages of the patients with advanced polyps and cancer were 69.2 ± 12.0 and 71.6± 13.8 years, respectively. Advanced polyps were mainly lerc sided （59.5%）. Advanced polyps were found in patients ≤60 years from 17.7% in period Ⅰto 26.3% in period Ⅱ（P 〈 0.05）, especially in male subjects ≤60 years （21.6% vs 31.6%, P 〈 0.05）. Advanced tubuloviUous polyps rose from 21.5% in period I to 29.5% in period Ⅱ （P 〈 0.05）. Whereas cancers in male patients ≤ 60 years were similar in both periods： 23.2% vs 16.5% （P 〉 0.05）.
CONCLUSION： Advanced polyps increased significantly in the younger male group in the most recent period and there seems to be a shiE towards a proximal location.
