Colorectal Polyps Treatment
Over time, colorectal polyps can develop into cancer and should be removed. In most cases, the polyps can be removed at the same time a colonoscopy is performed. For patients with polyps, follow-up colonoscopy should be performed within three years to see if the polyps have returned.
Rarely, for polyps with a high potential of becoming cancerous, a colectomy (removal of a part of the colon) may be recommended.
