Abstract
Recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of gastric polyps remain controversial; no consensus exists regarding their malignant potential or the reliability of endoscopic forceps biopsy. According to the classification of gastric tumors and polyps established by the World Health Organization, the frequency of malignant transformation depends on histologic type. The cancer risk has been reported to range from 0 to 8.6% (average 2.1%) for hyperplastic polyps, to be approximately 5% for tubular adenomas, and to range from 28.5 to 40% for villous adenomas and pyloric gland adenomas. Therefore, a precise histologic classification is essential to therapeutic action. Especially important is the reliability of the histologic rating of forceps biopsy sampling with regard to the total polyp.
