Polyp: An adenomatous colonic polyp is considered precancerous and should be removed via colonoscopy.Do you have a family history of colon cancer, specifically parents or siblings? The FIT tests only checks for presence of human blood in stool. If you haven't already done so, consult a gastroenterologist.
