  • Title: [Relations between stomach polyps and stomach cancer--results of follow-up after endoscopic polypectomy].
    Author: Eichhorn K, Kratzsch KH, Stibenz J, Waller H, Winkelvoss H.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1986 Aug 01; 41(15):433-5. PubMed ID: 3765746.
    Abstract:
    We report on 468 polypectomies on 303 patients in 23,260 gastroscopies. In 230 endoscopic follow-up controls on 129 patients 4 carcinomas are found, and that once after a hyperplastic polyp and thrice after hyperplasiogenic polyps. In comparison to our routine gastroscopies the number of the carcinomas is distinctly lower in the control of polyps, so that the hyperplasiogenic polyps in our gastroscopies do not represent a particular risk group for a carcinoma of the stomach. After polypectomy should be controlled: adenimas, polyps with severe dysplasias, hyperplasiogenic polyposes and stomachs in which polyps remained.
