What’s Happening
So get this: Researchers studying over 8,400 colonoscopies found out that having both adenomas and serrated polyps in the bowel can raise the risk of serious precancerous changes by up to five times.
These two polyp types may represent separate cancer pathways that can occur at the same time. (it feels like chaos)
Nearly half of patients with serrated polyps also had adenomas, making this high-risk combination more common than expected.
