Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Oncology: Towards the Establishment of Precision Medicine (2020, neutral): “In fact, in the United States, the results of the National Polyp Study reported in 1993 and its cohort study reported in 2012 demonstrated that the endoscopic removal of adenomatous polyps, a precursor lesion to CRC, reduced the morbidity of CRC by 76–90% and mortality by 53% [58,59].”
Screening for Colorectal Cancer in Adults at Average Risk: A Summary of the Evidence for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2002, background): “The National Polyp Study estimated that 76% to 90% of cancer could be prevented by regular colonoscopic surveillance examinations, based on comparison with historic controls (45).”
