A member asked:
If it were your own choice, would you decide on a sessile colon polyp (maybe precancerous) be removed by an oncology surgeon or by another that is experienced in endoscopy mucosal resection? (gastro md did colonoscopy but decided not to remove)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Individual providers in both specialties may have more or less skill for such procedures. Follow your gastroenterologist's advice as to her preferred provider(s) in your medical community.
