Abstract
Colorectal cancers (CRCs) originate from initially benign polyps identified as high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and low-grade dysplasia (LGD). (1) Elimination of polyps by polypectomy was reported to reduce CRC incidence in [...]
Aim: The risk of colorectal cancer development associated with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) colon polyps at baseline polypectomy remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of microsatellite instability (MSI) in the formation and prognosis of dysplasia. Method: In the study, 40 polyps diagnosed as HGD, and 40 polyps diagnosed as LGD were evaluated according to the revised Vienna criteria (2015) as a result of polypectomy. MSI analysis was performed by fragment analysis using five different primers. Results: Three of the polyps diagnosed with LGD and eight of the polyps diagnosed with HGD turned into cancer during the follow-up period. The rate of MSI in sporadic colorectal dysplasia was determined as 36.3. A significant correlation was found between MSI status and polyp recurrence within the five-year follow-up period after polypectomy. Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that LGD and HGDs with MSI can recur, but polypectomy may be effective in preventing cancer formation in cases of dysplasia with MSI.
