Based on a study of the prevalence of intestinal polyps in New Orleans and on international comparisons, the following conclusions are reached. 1) There is a close parallelism in the epidemiology of colon cancer and adenomatous polyps. Both conditions are statistically associated with respect to geography, anatomic localization, socioeconomic class, migration experience and time trends. 2) The strength of the association favors the notion of a direct, positive correlation between multiplicity, size and atypia of polyps, and cancer risk, equivalent to "dose-effect". 3) The epidemiologic findings are coherent with other biologic facts derived from clinical, morphological and experimental studies. 4) Adenomatous polyps are a good epidemiologic indicator of colon cancer risk and their presence should be helpful in advancing from studies of the epidemiology of colon cancer to the epidemiology of precursor lesions.
