What is the difference between bowel polyps and bowel cancer?

The difference between bowel polyps and bowel cancer is that bowel polyps are benign, some of which can become cancerous, while bowel cancer is clearly malignant. There are many kinds of intestinal polyps, which are divided into hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps, adenomatous polyps, etc. Adenomatous polyps are the most common, and more than 90% of colorectal cancers are malignant from adenomatous polyps. Nowadays, people’s health consciousness is getting higher and higher, and more and more patients have colonoscopy, the detection rate of benign polyps is getting higher and higher, and very few patients have malignant transformation of adenomatous polyps, but nowadays, the medical technology is changing day by day, not only the benign polyps can be resected under the endoscopy, but the malignant transformation of the polyps can be dealt with under the endoscopy directly. Bowel cancer is usually laparoscopic or open to remove the diseased intestinal tube, and clear the surrounding lymph nodes, and further treatment according to pathological staging after surgery. It is recommended to consult the hospital and standardize the examination and treatment.
