Prevalence and characteristics of sessile serrated lesions with dysplasia in Dutch fecal immunochemical test-positive screenees

Key Points

• The aim is to determine the prevalence and characteristics of sessile serrated lesions with dysplasia in individuals screening positive by fecal immunochemical tests.
• Analyzed prevalence of SSLD in a selected cohort of FIT-positive screenees
• Assessed characteristics of detected SSLDs including size and dysplasia status
• Used reference data to contextualize findings
• The prevalence of SSLD in this population was found to be 1.1%
• 64% of SSLDs identified were classified as small
• Emphasizes the importance of careful assessment of small serrated polyps for potential dysplasia
