Applicability of the Scottish screen-detected polyp cancer study (SSPoCS) algorithm in a multicentric cohort in the management of malignant colorectal polyps.

Background/objectives: Robust evidence regarding the management after endoscopic resection of malignant colorectal polyps (MCP) is lacking. Inconsistencies in reporting on potential prognostic factors hinder the decision process. To address these issues, the Scottish Screen-detected Polyp Cancer Study (SSPoCS) introduced an algorithm based in two easily obtainable variables: resection margin and lymphovascular invasion.

The association between neighborhood disadvantage and frailty: A retrospective case series.

Background: Frailty predicts poorer outcomes in surgical patients. Recent studies have found socioeconomic status to be an important characteristic for surgical outcomes.
