    The serrated polyp pathway is different than the pathway for conventional adenomas. What does finding these polyps on colonoscopy mean for patient care?

    Brigid Prayson and Kathleen Franco, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine December 2012, 79 (12) 875-882; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.79a.11161
