Core Tip
Core tip: The risk of colonic adenomas in patients who have sporadic gastric polyps, especially those of fundic gland polyps (FGP), is still to be definitely determined. The purpose of our study was to assess the risk of colonic polyps, adenomas and advanced neoplastic lesions in patients who have sporadic gastric polyps, especially of FGP, due to the fact that these are the most common gastric polyps in our population.
