A member asked:
In endoscopy done for my mom, we found some polyps in her stomach. she has been using ppi's for about 3 yrs now. is there possibility for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Polyps in the Stomach are commonly not cancerous. But depending on the size of the polyp, either a needle biopsy or removal may be considered. What did your doctor do... and advise you for future monitoring or treatment for this polyp???
