[Clinico-morphological aspects and treatment of polyps associated with cancer of the large intestine].

Among 218 patients with cancer of the large intestine, in 56 (25.7%), a tumor was associated with single, or multiple polyps. In morphological study, considerable dysplasia of glandular epithelium was revealed in 43.7%, and malignization--in 9.2% of accompanying polyps. Considering association of cancer with adenomas as one of the forms of large intestinal polyneoplasia, the authors recommend to perform in such patients typical radical operations in combination with endoscopic polypectomy, and extend the volume of resection only in polyp malignization with invasion of the tela submucosa, or diffuse polyposis.
