Neil Shepherd and the Weird World of serrated polyps

In this podcast we discuss Serrated Polyps with Prof Neil Shepherd. There is much more to these lesions than Size and Number!   Did you know that there appears to be two distinct syndromes and it's the Site of the lesions which distinguishes the two?  That is just the start.  It gets weirder !

• How can we identify patients with serrated polyposis syndrome ?
• Can we explain finding both serrated and adenomatous polyps in serrate polyposis syndrome?
• Why should I refer patient with serrated polyposis syndrome to geneticists?
