Coldon adenomas with low grade displasia?


what is the likelihood to get colon cancer

An individual's risk of colon cancer is approximately double the general population once an adenomatous polyp is found. This individual's risk of developing colon cancer can be significantly reduced by removing the polyp and any future polyps.
Essentially all adenomatous polyps are low grade dysplasia. The patient needs to be followed.
High grade dysplasia is more serious and your doctor or GI specialist should give you the advice depending on your clinical situation, size and location of polyp and whether it was completely removed during endoscopy. More surgery may be needed.
Good luck.

If you have one, you may get others and should be screened yearly.

Possibly fractionally higher than standard, but offset this with a much keener follow up and any change will be picked up early.
