Dartmouth Health Continuing Education for Professionals Home, Medicine Grand Rounds - The Serrated Pathway and Colorectal Cancer Screening, 3/5/2021 8:00:00 AM - 3/5/2024 9:00:00 AM, Dr. Anderson discusses the pathways for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) with a focus on serrated adenomas. There is evolving evidence regarding the potential for dysplasia with the serrated subtype of hyperplastic polyps, once thought to be benign. Challenges in diagnosis and management include interpretation of pathologic specimens, detection, resection and follow up. Ongoing research seeks to identify and disseminate effective surveillance strategies for serrated polyp management.
