Clinical takeawayScreen first-degree relatives of patients with SPS for CRC via colonoscopy. Perform meticulous colon inspection and frequent surveillance colonoscopy (compared to standard intervals) in SPS patients to reduce CRC risk. Consider colorectal surgery for SPS patients with cancer or unmanageable polyp burden. Germline genetic testing is indicated only in individuals meeting criteria for a known hereditary syndrome.
What it foundIndividuals with serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS), diagnosed based on WHO criteria (size, cumulative lifetime number, and location of serrated polyps), have an increased risk of prevalent and incident colorectal cancer (CRC).
ContextConfirms and refines current practice by emphasizing the need for rigorous surveillance and screening in SPS patients and their first-degree relatives, aligning with WHO diagnostic criteria.
