Include Colon Polyps information on your My EmpowHER page
Colon polyps are growths on the lining of the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is part of the digestive system.
The two most common kinds of polyp are adenomatous polyps and hyperplastic polyps. Adenomatous polyps can become larger over time and may develop into cancer. Hyperplastic polyps do not increase in size and only rarely become cancerous.
