Overview
Colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy are diagnostic studies of choice to diagnose colon polyps.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Gold standard
- There are two gold standard tests for the diagnosis of colon polyps include:[1][2][3]
- Colonoscopy
- False negative rate for colonoscopy not to detect polyps of all sizes is 22%. However, false negative rate would be lower if the adenoma is larger.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy
- Colonoscopy
