The results of 2389 patients exmained by colonofiverscope in past nine years are reported. Polyps were found in 561 cases, including 1256 polyps in the large intestine and 82 polyps in the terminal ileum. All 1299 polyps were removed with biopsy forceps. Pathology demonstrated that there were 406 adenomas, including 89 atypical hyperplasia and 23 cases with malignant change and 932 non-canerous polyps with 102 atypical hyperplasia. Since adenoma is seen to be a precancerous change, the polypectomy by colonofiberscope , ecpecially atypical hyperplastic polyps may decrease morbidity of large intestinal cancer. Cancer associated with adenoma may be as high as 51.28%, so the recrudescence of polyps may possibly be found even afer the cancer removal. These data showed that an early discovery of small malignant adenoma is key to improve efficiency.
