The study period was subdivided into period I : 1998 to 2001 and period 11: 2002-2005. RESULTS: 1856 polyps (33% advanced polyps) and 328 CRCs were detected. The mean ages of the patients with advanced polyps and cancer were 69.2 ± 12.0 and 71.6± 13.8 years, respectively. Advanced polyps were mainly lerc sided (59.5%). Advanced polyps were found in patients ≤60 years from 17.7% in period Ⅰto 26.3% in period Ⅱ(P 〈 0.05), especially in male subjects ≤60 years (21.6% vs 31.6%, P 〈 0.05). Advanced tubuloviUous polyps rose from 21.5% in period I to 29.5% in period Ⅱ (P 〈 0.05). Whereas cancers in male patients ≤ 60 years were similar in both periods: 23.2% vs 16.5% (P 〉 0.05).CONCLUSION: Advanced polyps increased significantly in the younger male group in the most recent period and there seems to be a shiE towards a proximal location.展开更多
