※ This video is an excerpt from Medical Experts - Polyps, Is It Over Once Removed? The Second Danger Hidden in the Colon , which aired on June 19, 2026. Turning into Cancer in 5 Years? The Warning of SSL Polyps! A male patient in his 30s discovered a polyp during a colonoscopy he received by chance. However, unlike typical polyps, it was attached flatly to the colon mucosa and lacked distinct boundaries. Detailed examinations and a biopsy confirmed that the patient's polyp was an SSL (Sedateless Serrated Lesion). What kind of polyp is an SSL, a name that is unfamiliar to many? SSLs are lesions known as one of the major pathways for colorectal cancer development. Unlike typical adenomas that protrude, they often grow flat against the colon wall, making them difficult to detect. They frequently occur in the right colon and are sometimes missed during endoscopic examinations due to their indistinct boundaries. Some can progress to cancer relatively quickly, requiring extra caution. Meanwhile, a female patient in her 60s did not experience any specific abdominal pain or bloody stools, but she had symptoms of poor digestion. I wasn't overly worried because a colonoscopy five years ago showed no abnormalities. However, colon cancer was discovered during a recent follow-up colonoscopy, and I eventually had to undergo surgery. Did the cancer grow rapidly over those five years? The most likely cause cited for this patient's colon cancer was none other than SSL! SSL is garnering attention as a major cause of "intermediate cancer." Intermediate cancer refers to colon cancer that is newly discovered before the time for a follow-up examination, either after a colonoscopy showed no abnormalities or after polyp removal. This is why the medical community has recently been focusing on SSL. Because it is difficult to detect and some can progress to cancer relatively quickly, it is considered a crucial key to preventing and early detecting colon cancer. We will examine why SSL polyps, which are hard to detect and closely linked to colon cancer, are considered important lesions, and why follow-up examinations are necessary even after polyp removal. ✔ Program Name: Master Doctors - Polyps, Is It Over Once Removed?
