title: The management of patients with colorectal adenomas.
abstract: The management of a patient with a colorectal adenoma aims at removal of adenomas that are missed initially or develop subsequently. Classification of adenomas permits the separation of patients into those at minimal and high risk of developing recurrent or new adenomas. Follow-up schedules for these two groups are based on currently available clinical and pathologic data.
