Table 2

Comparison of resectable and unresectable polyps in patients undergoing eventual colonic segmental resection at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada.

	Group A unresectable ()	Group B resectable ()	value
Mean polyp size, mm ± SD	31.8 ± 19.9	18.2 ± 12.4	<0.01
Polyp pathology, sessile	38 (39.2%)	13 (41.9%)	0.83
Adenocarcinoma	21 (21.6%)	29 (93.5%)	<0.01
