Data are presented as frequency (percentage)

^*Respect to surgical pathology

Lesion ulceration, extramural invasion, and/ or lesion shouldering was considered as suspicious polyp

The Fischer exact test was used statistical analysis

A p < 0.05 was considered significant

^**Significant difference with respect to surgical pathology
