You need to separate the follow up for Colon Cancer(for this you need to see your doctor every 6 months to 12 month intervals) and for the colon Polyps. The advice for 2 yearly rechecks is strictly for the Colon polyps which can reappear and require recheck at 2-3 year intervals. Good luck.

A 65-year-old female asked:
When should I repeat my colonoscopy with a finding of 5mm tuberous adenoma found in the transverse colon? This is the first time I've had a polyp. Should it be in 3 or 5 years, the Dr didn't say and the nurse mentioned the 3 to 5-year time span?

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?

If I had a clear colonoscopy last July, eight months ago, is it possible to develop colon cancer in that time. No polyps, all clear. Don't need one for another ten years, the gastroenterologist said. I am constipated and worried. Thanks?
