A member asked:
Is a small ascending colon lesion near cecum the same as polyp? they want to do ct scan. i have no pain or family history of cc. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably okay.: It may be a polyp or some other abnormality which was seen. It is impossible to know until it is evaluated. Certainly it is important to follow through. Good luck.
