Reflecting this adenomatous pathogenesis of most colorectal cancers, polyp screening with subsequent polypectomy is used to constitute an effective approach for decreasing the incidence of this malignant tumor. Thus, colorectal screening for polyps may be considered one of the most promising preventive measures in medicine. Most available…
