Expert Panel Seeks to Guide Referral for Large Polyps (GI & Endoscopy News)

A panel of 24 international experts developed 19 consensus statements to guide clinicians in referring patients with large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps for resection. These guidelines focus on critical factors like polyp location, size, and histopathology, as well as patient demographics and previous endoscopy findings. The aim is to improve the triage and planning of endoscopic resection techniques, ultimately reducing colorectal cancer incidence and improving patient outcomes. High-quality photodocumentation was also emphasized as essential for accurate lesion assessment.
