How Often Should You Get A Colo-rectal Cancer Follow-up Screening After Recovering From Colon Cancer?

My colonoscopy results had one polyp adenomatous/tubulovillous tissue removed. Surgeon said all of it was removed. Pathology report showed no evidence of cancer in any of the tissue. I must go back in 3 years for a colo-rectal cancer screening. Should I worry or feel it s ok until I go back in 3 years?

Hello.

So, if the initial biopsy revealed no tumor.
Then it is ok to visit in 3 years.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
