Classifications of colonic polypoid lesions are often based on their pathogenesis. Little attention is paid to the biologic behavior (or predicted behavior, based on experience) of these lesions. Classification based on biologic behavior separates these lesions, regardless of histogenesis, according to possible malignant potential. This helps the clinician to explain the implications of the histopathologic diagnosis to the patient and to understand when aggressive or prophylactic therapy should be pursued.
结肠息肉样病变的分类通常基于其发病机制。这些病变的生物学行为（或基于经验的预测行为）很少受到关注。基于生物学行为的分类根据可能的恶性潜能对这些病变进行区分，而不考虑其组织发生。这有助于临床医生向患者解释组织病理学诊断的意义，并理解何时应采取积极或预防性治疗。
