Polyp
MONDO:0005079A usually exophytic mass attached to the underlying tissue by a broad base or a thin stalk. Polyps can be neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Neoplastic polyps usually represent proliferations of the epithelium, and are commonly seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Polyps of the gastrointestinal tract are often called adenomas, are associated with dysplasia, and may eventually transform into carcinomas. Non-neoplastic polyps may be inflammatory, degenerative, or the result of malformations.

Can a simpler scope technique match the complex one for large colon growths?
Disease control OngoingResearchers compare two ways to remove large, non-cancerous growths from the colon. One method, endoscopic mucosal resection, removes the growth in pieces. The other, endoscopic submucosal dissection, removes it in one piece but takes longer and carries more risk. The trial tests…
