Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) are now recognized as potential cancer precursors, but little is known about their natural history. We assessed the in vivo growth rates of histologically proven SSA/Ps at longitudinal CT colonography (CTC) and compared results with non-advanced tubular adenomas (TAs).
