These lesions encompass a range of histologic subtypes, including fundic gland polyps, gastric hyperplastic polyps, hamartomatous polyps, gastric adenomas, pyloric gland adenomas, oxyntic gland adenomas, and gastric neuroendocrine tumors.
AGA’s newest clinical practice update provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the natural history and epidemiology of gastric polyps. It also offers guidance on best practices for endoscopic detection and classification, resection, and post-resection surveillance.
