Does low-grade dysplasia require frequent follow-up?

Hello doctor,

I had an endoscopy done where gastric adenomas were found near the duodenum. It was benign and completely removed. After a month the doctor did a colonoscopy, and no polyps were found. She also checked for gastric adenoma she removed and said nothing is there. The doctor asked me to come back in five years. I was reading that people with gastric adenomas should revisit every six to twelve months. I brought this up to my doctor and she said five years because my adenoma was small and it had what she called a "low-grade dysplasia" profile. Is she giving the correct advice? Kindly suggest.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to attach the journal information that I found. This is where they mentioned frequent checks specifically for gastric adenoma. My doctor says that each case is different. I just wanted your opinion on this, "after the resection of gastric adenomas, all patients should undergo a follow-up endoscopy in six to twelve months, followed by yearly endoscopies if appropriate. The endoscopy interval depends on the highest grade of dysplasia detected and the number and size of polyps resected. The cancer risk of the background stomach should also be considered. If CAG and or GIM are present they may warrant ongoing surveillance depending on their extent." I do not know all the technical details but just wanted your opinion if my doctor is giving me good advice based on your expertise.

Thank you
