A member asked:
What does it mean if i had a 4mm sessile benign neoplasm of the cecum? does this raise my risk of colon cancer? does location matter? i'm only 42!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cecal neoplasm: What is the histology ? Lipoma, mucocele , carcinoid. In general though individuals with lesions due have a higher propensity for cancer. You likely will need continued surveillance colonoscopy with evaluation of the cecum . The tumor that was identified was small and surveillance/monitoring will detect lesions before cancer occurs.
