A member asked:
What happens if all the polyps in your stomach are removed then how can you get colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confused: Stomach is at end of esophagus, then small intestine, then colon, then rectum. One can have polyps in any of these. One can have cancer in any of these. They can happen at same time or separately.
