Summary

Approximately 90 % of correctly indicated endoscopic polypectomies for early colorectal cancer, whether invasive or not, are curative, provided strict criteria are adopted in the pathological evaluation of the resected specimen. Unrestricted time surveillance is mandatory since benign (more frequent) or malignant relapses appear in 30-40 % of the patients.

Key words:

Early colorectal cancer - Polyps - Endoscopic polypectomy - Follow-up
