Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
Biopsy is always taken. As such the doctor has already told you that he will call up if cancer is found. This proves that biopsy was taken.
If the polyp turns out to be non-cancerous, it is removed surgically. There is no other treatment.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.
