Popis: Objective: To analyse presentation, management and outcomes of large (≥ 20 mm) polyps (LPs) detected in a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programme using a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and to compare them with those of a previous guaiac-based faecal occult blood test (gFOBT) programme. Design: Retrospective population-based study of all LPs detected in patients aged 50-74 years between 2015 and 2019 during FIT-positive colonoscopies within the screening programme organised in Alsace (France). Results: Overall, 1256 LPs (8.5% malignant and 51.8% non-pedunculated) were detected by 102 community gastroenterologists in 1164 patients (one in 12 colonoscopies). Endoscopic resection rate was 82.7% for benign LPs (70.2% non-pedunculated, 95.2% pedunculated, p
