The serrated polyp-neoplasia pathway is a novel concept that has been demonstrated to differ from the conventional adenoma-carcinoma pathway. To characterize the phenotypic patterns of differentiation in colorectal serrated polyps, we examined the immunohistochemical expression profile of gastric (MUC5AC, TFF1, MUC6, GlcNAcalpha1 --> 4Gal --> R, and PDX1) and intestinal (MUC2, TFF3, and CDX2) epithelial markers in 15 hyperplastic polyps (HPs), 29 sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs),12 traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs), and 16 conventional adenomas (CAs). MUC5AC and TFF1 were upregulated in the HPs, SSAs, and TSAs. MUC6 was expressed in the HPs and SSAs. GlcNAcalpha1 --> 4Gal --> R was expressed only in the SSAs. Although MUC2 expression was preserved, TFF3 was downregulated in the HPs, SSAs, and TSAs. PDX1 was upregulated in the HPs, SSAs, and TSAs. On the other hand, CDX2 was downregulated in the HPs and SSAs. The colorectal serrated polyps showed higher expression of gastric makers than CAs. The HPs and SSAs showed gastric and intestinal mixed phenotype expression with gastric pyloric organoid differentiation and almost identical, but different from the TSAs, marker profile. PDX1 up-regulation and CDX2 down-regulation could be important for the induction of a gastric pyloric pattern of cell differentiation in colorectal serrated polyps.

Objectives: Serrated polyps (SPs) with synchronous advanced adenoma (AA) may increase the incidence of colorectal cancer. However, current studies do not address this combination of SPs and AAs in detail with regard to their clinical characteristics in different age groups. The aim was to assess clinical characteristics and risk factors for SPs with synchronous AA in different age groups.

Post-colonoscopy surveillance interval for colorectal polyps depends on the size, number, and pathological classification of removed polyps. The risk of sporadic hyperplastic polyps (HPs) for developing colorectal adenocarcinoma remains debatable due to limited data. We aimed to evaluate the risk of metachronous colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with sporadic HPs.

Objective: To comparatively assess the expression of Muc 2, Muc 5AC, and Muc 6 in hyperplastic polyps (HPs), sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) of the colon for determination of their role in differential diagnosis.
Material And Methods: Sixty-five serrated masses from 52 patients were examined.

Aims: Serrated lesions (SLs), including sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA), are important premalignant lesions for colorectal cancer (CRC). Although a small subset of SLs are known to harbour TP53 mutations and Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation, suggesting that they may develop dysplasia or CRC via a 'chromosomal instability (CIN)-like' pathway, it is unclear if aneuploidy (characteristic of conventional adenoma) ever develops in SLs and is associated with development of dysplasia or CRC, in this context.
Methods And Results: DNA flow cytometry was performed on 31 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated SLs without dysplasia [including 10 non-targeted 'serrated epithelial change' (SEC), 14 SSAs and seven hyperplastic polyps (HPs)] as well as 48 dysplastic SSAs and TSAs.

Background And Aims: Sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) are precursors of 15% to 30% of colorectal cancers but are frequently underdiagnosed. We sought to measure the SSA detection rate (SDR) and predictors of SSA detection after educational training for community gastroenterologists and pathologists.
Methods: Colonoscopy and pathology data (2010-2014) from 3 medical centers at Kaiser Permanente Northern California were accessed electronically.
