Guide for use: | CODE 1 Yes To be recorded when one or more colorectal polyps are found to be greater than or equal to 10 mm in size. The cumulative risk of polyps (mainly adenomas) greater than 10 mm developing into bowel cancer within 10 years is considered to be 8% (Stryker et al. 1987). CODE 2 No To be recorded when all colorectal polyps found were less than 10 mm in size. Smaller polyps are less likely to develop into bowel cancer. Multiple colorectal polyps can be listed. |
