Question 1

0.7x0.4x0.2cm sessile serrated adenoma found in me acending colon (27 yr f) im so scared no history ca in family, don't smoke, chances of me getting cancer?

Accepted Answer

Cont to see GI reg: At the present time the medical literature does not have any statistics that would define your chance of getting colon cancer after finding the serrated adenoma in the asc colon.

You are at increased risk, but-Sorry I cannot give you a %  risk, but this does not appear in the literature.

Your GI DR will be watching this very closely and I would suggest you continue with vigilant checkups.

Question 2

is an advanced adenomas villious semi sessile 14 mm polyp in rectum another way of saying its cancer in situ?

Accepted Answer

No: Villous adenomas are benign. They are considered pre-malignant, but not cancer. In-situ is the earliest stage of cancer, Stage 0. The two are definitely different.

Question 3

i'm 36 and had a 5mm sessile adenoma removed from my cecum. how often should i get a colonoscopy now and is this adenoma of high risk for cancer?

Accepted Answer

5 years: It is some thing you should discuss with your GI doctor. In general getting a repeat colonoscopy in 5 years is safe. You may consult this site for more information on this topic:

Question 4

is having two tubular adenomas removed from your colon and then having one hyper-plastic  and another adenoma removed 3yr later increase cancer chance?

Accepted Answer

adenoma: The vast majority of colon cancers arise from adenomas.  Will screen small adenomas are removed before they become malignant.  Simply having any adenomas increases your lifetime risk of developing colon cancer.

Question 5

i am 28.had a colonoscopy and the doctor removed an 8mm polyp.the doctor said it was not an adenoma, but it was a sessile polyp. is this pre cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Current concept  even though all  adenomas are benign  if left alone  may transform to malignancy over the time ,  so they are pre-cancerous , must be removed and need colonoscopy surveillance  more frequently than normal population , just don't worry see your doctor on regular basis and under go procedure if advised.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Colon polyp: Ask your gasteroenterologist, who scoped you.  He/she should provide you the answer for repeat colonoscopy, but it is probably no more than 3 years since the last one.

Question 7

i had two precancerous sessile serrated adenomas found on colonoscopy. doctor says it's most likely genetic. only 27. is there anything i can do to prevent these. am i more likely to get cancer in the future?

Accepted Answer

Serrated adenoma: Routine screening , w/ colonoscopy every  1-2  years will pick up early lesions.Healthy diet with  fruits and vegetables and  fiber is also beneficial ,. There is  data that suggests aspirin  or  celebrex and sulindac  can decreased risk of  adenoma, but  some GI bleeding risks( moreso if  older) -discuss
