My dad has been diagnosis with multiple sessile polyp less than 100 with less than 7mm in size in stomach . do you think it can be cancerous?

?<100: Question not clear. Whats less than 100? Does he have 70-80 stomach polyps? 7mm stomach polyp usually doesnt have cancer. They may have biopsied it if concerning.

Polyps are benign: Polyps are benign proliferations, they are not cancerosus. But they can be precursers of cancer...So he needs follow up endoscopy as advised by a gastroenterologist.
