NSAID treatment is aspirin or ibuprofen for sporadic patients and sulinac for FAP patients, both for 1 year
TA, tubular adenoma
TV, tubulovillous adenoma; sporadic patients only
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, no patient demographic or adenoma classification data available
Dysplasia, P=0.12 between groups (two-tailed Fisher’s exact test)
