What s te risk of cancer if my dr saw a 6*6mm intrauterine polyp. ovaries are normal. age is 56 yrs. if cancerous will it simply go if uterus taken.

Low risk: While it could b something worrisome you are a bit young to develop uterine cancer. Additionally, mathis can b biopsied in the office with an endocervical curettage to more specifically define it. A small polyp noticed on ultrasound can either be sampled or observed based upon your risk factors and your gyn's clinical suspicion. Sounds fairly benign but don't ignore it. Check with md.
