What Are The Chances Of Sessile Polyps Of Colon Turning Into Cancer?
Hello, I have a question about sessile polyps of the colon. I know that that are precancerous polyps but my question is, What are the chances of them turning into cancer. My husband recently had a colonoscopy and the removed three sessile polyps from three different locations. He has done research and says there are is a greater chance the more polyps that are found.

Dear,
Heriditary or developmental polyps are well known coincidental factors for colonic malignancy. There are many causes of developing of new polyps in the colon. I feel dietetic modification in consultation with a dietician and a gastroenterologist to prevent development of further polyps is required.
