Core Tip
Core Tip: Elderly patients diagnosed with colorectal polyps admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were included in the study. High-grade intraepithelial neoplasia characteristics and risk factors of elderly colorectal polyps were analyzed, to provide references for early screening, monitoring and treatment of colorectal polyps in the elderly. Studies have found that the occurrence of high-grade neoplasia in colorectal polyps is closely related to its location, size, villous characteristics, family history, and increased level of tumor markers. Based on these factors, it was found that the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with colorectal polyps could be made, which is of great significance to prevent high-grade neoplasia and even further malignant transformation of polyps in these patients.
