Core Tip	Sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) have been implicated in the alternative pathway for colorectal carcinoma. Proximal SSAs might account for higher incidence of interval colorectal cancers (CRC) on the right side given the fact that these are often flat and difficult to detect. Our study is first to compare the morphology and epidemiology of proximal SSAs with distal SSAs. We found proximal SSAs are more likely to present as flat lesions, larger SSAs, and were more likely to occur in smokers and in patients with family history of CRC. These findings have implications for CRC screening.
