Upper endo many sessile polyps3-6mm. been on prilosec yrs. should i stop prilosec? sessile polyps mean cancer?

Fundic gland polyps: these types of polyps in the fundus of the stomach are of no real concern. They do not increase the chances of cancer. They are not a reason to stop your Prilosec, if you need it. Your endoscopist will be able to follow up with you concerning them. Good luck.
