Suggest Treatment For Tumor Growing Off The Stomach
Hi I had a colonoscopy about 12 years ago and the doctor found red bumps thst he said were not cancerous yet but could turn to cancer. I have another scheduled next week to check. How likely is it that the spots or bumps seen many years ago have moved or changed into cancer. I had a scope down my throat about 6.months ago and the doctor found a tumor growing off my stomach wall but said it was too small to.be cancerous yet and to just watch it
To diagnose any tumour or cancer,you must have to take biopsy of that tissue and to he sent for histopathology examination.
In your case,earlier you had colonoscopy and your doctor said that was non cancerous, it could be possible that he had taken biopsy during scopy and sent it for HP examination.
Now,your stomach endoscopy has shown small growth inside as you stated. To diagnose whether it is a tumour or nit ,it must be sent for HP examination as I said earlier.
Hope it will clear to you now. Regards,
