A member asked:
Do you think i should be worried about having a adenomatous colon polyp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it removed...: You should have these removed. If totally removed and no evidence of cancer, no need to further worry about that polyp. Left alone, a percentage could grow into cancer over time, so best to remove. You should then be followed as per your doctor's and acs guidelines.
