High-risk adenomas and serrated polyps significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer within 3 years post-polypectomy. Surveillance colonoscopy is vital for preventing subsequent cancer, especially for patients with high-risk polyps. The study highlights the importance of early surveillance within 3 years for patients with high-risk polyps, suggesting that incomplete resection and missed lesions contribute to interval neoplasia development.
