Recurrence After Gastric and Intestinal Polyp Resection

Sponsor: LanZhou University

Summary

This is a retrospective and prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the recurrence rate and identify risk factors after endoscopic resection of gastric and intestinal polyps. BACKGROUND: Gastric and intestinal polyps are common digestive diseases with potential for malignant transformation. Although endoscopic resection is the standard treatment, recurrence rates range from 10-50%, and the mechanisms and risk factors remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: Primary: To assess short-term (1-year) and long-term (3-year) recurrence rates after endoscopic polyp resection Secondary: To identify independent risk factors and develop a recurrence risk prediction model DESIGN: Mixed retrospective-prospective cohort study * Retrospective cohort: Patients who underwent polyp resection from 2021-2022, with follow-up data through 2024 * Prospective cohort: Patients enrolled from 2024-2025, with standardized follow-up through 2028 SETTING: Single tertiary referral center with \>10,000 endoscopic polyp resections performed since 2021 PARTICIPANTS: Approximately 1,600-1,800 adult patients (≥18 years) who underwent complete endoscopic resection of gastric or intestinal polyps FOLLOW-UP: * Short-term: 1 year post-resection (±2 months) * Long-term: 3 years post-resection (±3 months) MAIN OUTCOME: Recurrence rate defined as new polyp detection at original or different sites during endoscopic surveillance POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS: Patient demographics, polyp characteristics (size, number, location, pathology), resection method, Helicobacter pylori status, lifestyle factors, and medication use EXPECTED IMPACT: Results will inform personalized surveillance strategies and optimize resource allocation for post-polypectomy follow-up.
