Unlikely but you: Unlikely bet you are at risk. When will you have polyps these need to be pulled because some can turn into tumors. Your gastroenterologist Will explain this to you.

Pathology: most polyps are not malignant. But the good news is you do NOT have to leave it to chance. Once your polyps make to the pathology lab they will tell you FOR SURE whether they are malignant or benign
