Interobserver agreement among pathologists in the histopathological diagnosis and classification of colorectal polyps

While agreement was good for adenomatous polyps and carcinoma, considerable variability exists in diagnosing certain polyp types and grading dysplasia. These findings highlight the need for standardized criteria and additional training to improve consistency in colorectal polyp assessment, particularly for serrated lesions and dysplasia grading.

Abstract

While agreement was good for adenomatous polyps and carcinoma, considerable variability exists in diagnosing certain polyp types and grading dysplasia. These findings highlight the need for standardized criteria and additional training to improve consistency in colorectal polyp assessment, particularly for serrated lesions and dysplasia grading.
