PARRA-PEREZ, Víctor Felipe. Endoscopic interventions to improve serrated lesions detection rate during colonoscopy. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.1, pp.43-52.  Epub Apr 11, 2023. ISSN 1022-5129.  http://dx.doi.org/10.47892/rgp.2023.431.1466.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common causes of cancer mortality in the world. Serrated lesions are responsible for 10 to 20% of all CRCs. Serrated polyps, particularly sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA), have a subtle appearance and proximal location, and therefore have a high miss rate. The objective of this review was to evaluate the available evidence on the use of various endoscopic interventions for improving serrated lesion detection rate, thus reducing CRC related mortality.
