What Are Colon Polyps?
10. Prognosis
Colon polyps removed and deemed non-neoplastic do not typically require any further action. If there are other mitigating circumstances, the doctor may recommend a repeat colonoscopy sooner to ensure no further polyps are developing.
Patients diagnosed with neoplastic polyps require a course of treatment to ensure that the affected tissue is removed. Aside from removal, patients with colorectal cancer often undergo chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as frequent colonoscopies.
