Colorectal adenoma is a type of precancerous growth in the colon or rectum. These polyps are common in adults and can develop into colorectal cancer if left untreated. Colorectal adenomas are typically detected during a colonoscopy and removed to prevent the development of cancer. Research in this area focuses on understanding the risk factors, genetic factors, and molecular pathways associated with colorectal adenomas, as well as developing more effective screening and prevention strategies. Overall, studying colorectal adenomas is crucial for early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.
