Polyps of 0.6cm found by colonoscopy are recommended to be removed as soon as possible.
As there are different pathological types of colon polyps, including hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps and adenomatous polyps, and the risk of malignancy is different for different pathological types, adenomatous polyps have a higher risk of cancer. And adenomatous polyps are also divided into tubular adenomas, villous adenomas, serrated adenomas, villous tubular adenomas, etc., and adenomas containing villous components have a higher risk of malignant transformation, and even have been endomatosis.
However, it is difficult to determine the type of polyp solely based on the microscopic performance of colonoscopy or the histological diagnosis of some polyps. Only by completely removing the polyp and then conducting histopathological examination of the whole polyp can the nature of the polyp and whether it is a type of polyp that has the risk of malignant transformation be further clarified.
Therefore, in order to detect the polyps with the risk of malignant transformation at an early stage, it is recommended to have further diagnosis and treatment in regular hospitals that have the qualification of performing endoscopic surgery, and then follow up and review according to the results of the pathological findings of the polyps when they come out.
