  • Title: Villous adenomas of the colorectum.
    Author: Welch JP, Welch CE.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1976 Feb; 131(2):185-91. PubMed ID: 175719.
    Abstract:
    During a ten-year period 258 patients with villous adenomas were seen at the Massachusetts General Hospital: seventy-four of these patients (29%) had invasive cancer that developed in adenomas. The operative mortality ascribed to removal of benign adenomas was zero, but for cancer arising in villous adenomas it was 3 per cent. Therapy often is difficult because of the size and location of the tumors. Methods of removal have been considered in detail.
