A member asked:
Had upper endo, found lots 3-6mm gastric fundic polyps, were benign, do they need to be monitored? doc said no, grandpa died stomach cancer, concerned

If these polyps: were benign, they are not precancerous. Stomach cancer do not necessarily run in families. If you have no other risk factors, such as H. pylori infection, alcohol, or tobacco, your risk is probably baseline. Ask your gi specialist for specific recommendation regarding further monitoring. But your risk of developing malignancy in another organ is probably higher.

In sporadic FGPs attributed to PPI, discontinuation of PPI is encouraged. FAP should be ruled out if FGP are seen in a multitude (20 or greater), located in the antrum, at an early age (younger than 40 years), or concurrent Dud. adenoma, colonoscopy should be done.
