I have some chrpe behind one of my eyes and was told there is a link with colon cancer. i have heard and read mixed things on the subject?

Possible: This is a benign problem in the eye. It can be associated with fap a familial risk for colon cancer. You can review this condition and family history and discuss with your doctor to determine if you should be evaluated further.

CHRPE and FAP: Chrpe is a retinal abnormality commonly linked with fap, an inherited predisposition to growing highly malignant polyps throughout the whole colon which will become cancerous, often at a surprisingly early age (even teens and 20's!) just having chrpe does not mean you hace colon cancer, but should suggest a check for the polyps, especially if you have GI symptoms like bleeding in stools.
