A member asked:
I got a colonoscopy done and the report says "adenomatous polyp, polyp removed, with high grade dysplasia". polyp was 26mm. no history of colon cancer. what does this mean? what kind of questions/tests should i ask when i meet my gastroenterologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Polyp: Most importantly ask when the next screening colonoscopy should be done as your colon polyp, size and microscopically, indicates that this was a great pickup. Also there is risk for more polyp formation in the future. Ask your gastroenterologist if there's any dietary advice or advisability of taking low dose aspirin as preventative measures for polyp formation or development of colon cancer
