Latest progress in research of factors associated with recurrence after resection of colorectal polyps

Colorectal polyps are growths projecting into the mucosal surface of the colon lumen. Colorectal polyps, especially colorectal adenomas, are considered precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer. With the continuous development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic treatment of colon polyps has been used widely. However, the recurrence rate is high, and the risk of recurrence and malignant transformation still exists. Therefore, more and more attention has been paid to the recurrence related factors after the resection of colorectal polyps. This article will review the latest progress in the research of factors related to recurrence after resection of colorectal polyps.
