Is colonic villous adenoma a benign tumor and can it become cancerous after surgery?

Villous tubular adenoma is a type of colorectal polyp, a polyp-like lesion that protrudes from the mucosal surface into the intestinal lumen and has the potential to become malignant.

The larger the size of the adenoma, the greater the likelihood of cancer; the more villi in the adenoma structure, the greater the likelihood of cancer. The more villi in the adenoma structure, the greater the likelihood of cancer. The most important thing is to have a good understanding of the situation.

After surgery, it is important to avoid drinking strong alcohol and smoking, avoiding spicy, hot and irritating foods, high quality and low fiber foods, minimizing fried, smoked and pickled foods, eating nutritious and easy to digest foods, and eating more fresh vegetables, etc. It is important to monitor the changes of the disease in time to detect the recurrence of residual adenomas and new adenomas.
