A member asked:
I was wondering are precancerious polyps carcinoma in situ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Most precancerous polyps of the colon are considered adenomas. These can progress to contain areas of severe dysplasia and/or carcinoma in situ which mean that they are one step closer to becoming malignant.
