Dad hadtubular adenoma polyp in bowel . one doctor on here says heridatry other doctor says it's not so which is it heridatry or not?

Not so much: Tubular adenoma are the most common type found on screening colonoscopies. They can be seen in familial cancer syndromes, but usually they are just sporadic (random) and don't require additional screening in family members. Regardless, having blood in the stool is a risk factor and should be assessed.
