I'm asian am i more susceptible to getting colon polyps?

No: In general asians have a lower incidence of colon cancer and colon polyps than the average population. This is due to several factors including eating more fish and vegetables and less red meat.

No: These are some predisposing factors for colon poliposis which is related to colon cancer: • hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc, also known as lynch syndrome)  • familial adenomatous polyposis (fap)  • attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (afap)  • myh associated adenomatous polyposis (map)  • peutz-jeghers syndrome (pjs)  • familial juvenile polyposis coli (fjp).

No: Though colon cancer has a genetic basis for susceptibility, lifestyle and diet have a lot to do with risk factors. Asians, in general, have a lower incidence though.
