β¦ Synopsis
An association between adenomatous polyps of the large bowel and colorectal cancer has been reported, in the absence, however, of population-based estimates of risk. Subjects with histologically confirmed first diagnosis of large-bowel polyps notified to the population-based Cancer Registry of the Swiss Canton of Vaud (about 600,000 inhabitants) during the calendar period 1979-1990 were actively followed up to the end of 1990 for the subsequent occurrence of malignant neoplasms. Among 2,496 individuals with intestinal polyps, followed for a total of 10,310 person-years at risk (6,201 among males and 4,109

Using flexible proctosigmoidoscopy, the incidence of adenomatous polyps was studied in 161 patients previously operated on for breast cancer and also in 147 hospitalized controls not presenting with colorectal symptoms. The acceptance and tolerance of the examination were good in both populations. T
## BACKGROUND. Recent attention has focused on calcium and certain vitamins as potential protective agents against colorectal neoplasia. ## METHODS. Two case-control studies were conducted on patients who underwent colonoscopy between 1986 and 1988, comparing 297 patients with newly diagnosed a
The authors evaluated cell kinetics of apparently normal rectal mucosa in the following subjects: 25 with single small adenoma (smaller than 10 mm) of the large bowel, 12 with multiple small adenomas, 28 with a single large adenoma (larger than 10 mm), 22 bearing multiple adenomas among which at lea
## Abstract The ratio of rightβ to leftβsided colonic cancer is increasing, but data on the distribution of its usual precursor lesion, the colorectal adenoma, are contradictory. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of rightβ and leftβsided colorectal adenoβmatous polyps from January I, 1970,
In unselected autopsies on 171 males and 109 females over 20 years of age in TromsG, Northern Norway, adenomas of the colon and rectum were present in 40% of the males and 33% of the females. The frequency of adenomas increased with age in both sexes. Hyperplastic polyps were found in 20% of all cas
