Polyps in the stomach: immediate and long-term results after endoscopic polypectomy and follow-up control
407 patients with stomach polyps were taken into the study. Immediate and long-term results of polypectomy have been followed-up in 282 cases. It has been found out that malignant neoplasms can be met in 1.6-3% of cases. In 15% of cases new polypous formations may appear after polypectomy. In 22% tumour recurrences may develop at the site of removal; among them - 10% as stomach cancer. The obtained results confirm a necessity to include endoscopic examination into the follow-up program of patients with stomach polyps before and after polyps' removal.
