The polyp is a small growth in the colonic wall that is often found when we do colonoscopies for routine screening. When we remove them and look under the microscope, they appear to be these precancerous lesions that, if not removed, can eventually develop into a cancerous lesion or malignancy. Therefore, that is a very good reason for us to undergo this clinical colonoscopy that are recommended on a routine basis.
