  • Precancerous polyps can pose as signs of future colon cancer; therefore it's important to remove them if found. However, what percentage of colon polyps are cancerous? Learn more about precancerous polyps at colonoscopymd.com/polyps.
    What percentage of Polyps are Cancerous? This is a common question many patients ask us at the Colonoscopy Center of Excellence in Los Angeles. Listen to Dr. Siamak Tabib as he discusses some guidelines that people can follow.

    Thank you for explaining this. I was just informed today that they found precancerous polyps in me. My heart dropped. I am glad I found this, because it put me at some ease.

    And the other question is, “Since polypectomies are why a patient suffers a perforation, how much safer is it to actually leave polyps right where they are?”

I did a follow-up visit to read the results and the Doctor looked at me and said you're very lucky they found polyps and removed them. He said come back in 3 years and that's exactly what I am going to do. I take health very seriously. I take it so serious, I decided to work two part time jobs instead of a long 8 hour job that doesn't a lot me to go to my doctor's appointments. My health comes first.

    I am watching this because my mother had a colonoscopy done and had to have 7 polyps removed. Thankfully they were removed but the simple fact that they were surgically removed is what concerns me. They probably didn't even tell her how big they were because she didn't mention that detail to me. But I really pray that none of hers turn out to be cancer. We have already lost my Dad over a year ago. And the very last thing that I need is for my mother to end up with some form of colon cancer because I don't know if I can save her from all that and I don't want to lose both of my parents in such a short time. That would be devastating for me. 😓

    I just had a colonoscopy yesterday and the doctor said he removed 1 small polyp but however his notes mentioned polyps. I’m confused about how many there actually were now. I’m praying it wasn’t cancer. I have an uncle who had colon cancer about a year or two ago and yesterday found out my grandma on moms side had polyps that were either cancer or getting ready to turn in to cancer and my mom had a polyp years ago and her two sisters and a brother also had polyps. I’m terrified something bad will come of this. It’s worried me sick about it til the pathology report comes back.

    • @jlilly8144

      If he removed it, you should be fine. That's the point of a colonscopy. My first one 18 yrs ago found a adenomatous polyp and they removed it. That's a type of precancerous polyp or one that could possibly turn into a cancer. Removing it removes the chances of cancer. I then had one ten years after that and it was clear. Today, I had my third and they again found a tiny polyp, possibly another adenomatous one, and removed it.This is why it's important to have colonoscopies. It removed the possibility of cancer....

    Slightly reassuring. I awakened during colonoscopy and saw a circle of polyps. One was removed and the others left. I was upset they all were not removed as I thought that was the purpose of a colonoscopy. No discussion, except to say I had "a group" then he left the recovery room, and, no follow up. He did not afford me the opportunity to ask questions.

      Absolutely normal, you need to have another colonoscopy to ensure there are no new polyps.It is a common advice given to people who have higher tendency to get polyps.

      I would do it in three months if i had to. Be thankful the Dr. said 1 year. Some doctors estimate 3 to 5 years and the anxiety would kill me by then. Glad you are being succesfully treated.

    In my case, I developed an undiagnosed severe anemia that weakened my immune system so much that I got shingles . Went to the ER and was diagnosed with severe anemia which required multiple blood transfusions and iron infusion. The culprit was a bleeding colon polyp of 4 centimetres that was removed. That was 4 months ago, and I am slowly getting my strength back. Next ( second ) colonoscopy will be in one year from the first. Just a simple blood test triggered a search for the source of the bleeding, that test saved my life

    This is good to know. All the more reason to skip an invasive colonsocopy and use Cologuard instead. Cologuard detects 94% of stage 1 and 2 cancers, virtually the same as colonoscopy but without the risks. Problem is that when any polyp is detected during a colonoscopy you're put on a schedule to go back every 3-5 years-even a single very small polyp.

      Is that right? Does cologuard really detect cancer?
