The results of colonoscopies performed at an outpatient practice in Australia have been compared in 346 Chinese and 654 white patients to determine the rates of premalignant polyps. The prevalence of adenomatous polyps was similar in both groups. However, advanced adenomas and sessile serrated adenomas were more common in white patients than in Chinese patients.
