Colorectal polyp prevalence and adenoma detection rates in an Iranian cohort: a prospective study
Our data shows acceptable PDR and ADR in this referral center and higher prevalence of adenomatous polyps in men in accordance with western reports. In addition, according to our data substantial proportion of individuals aged 45-49 years were found to harbor adenomatous polyps, aligning with trends observed in Western populations. If further research confirms these findings, it could provide a rationale for considering the initiation of colorectal cancer screening at age 45 in Iran.
