Q: Large Sessile Polyp Ascending Colon

asked by: catgb on July 9th, 2007

Do all colon cancers start as polyps? I just had a large sessile polyp removed from my right colon. I am a 41 year old female. I was discharged with directions that all first degree family members age 40 or over should be screened for colon cancer. I am waiting for the biopsy results. Also, aren't I a little young to have a large colon polyp? Thanks.

Ascending Colon

I just read that 100% of the time polyps cannot be detected in the ascending (right) colon. Is this true? If so, why not? Thanks.

Colon Polyps

You are never too young for colon polyps. I am 28 years old and last year was diagnosed with Pre cancerous polyps. Very scary. After having this it makes me feel like people should be going to get colonoscopies younger than 50. If I did not have my colonoscopy, I would have had cancer in a few years.
