Suggest treatment for precancerous cells on colon wall
Patient: Good evening. During my colonoscopy this past Monday, a cluster of cells was noticed on the colon wall. A biopsy was taken and the result, I received a call this a.m., precancerous. Repeat the colonoscopy in three years with a more extensive prep. This one was two days. Seems to be the usual recommendation? Doctor: hi.... it may be a dysplastic polyp... interventions depends on grade of dysplasia and involvement of base of that lesion.. if type 3 dysplasia and involving base of excised tissue you need intervention now itself.. if not can followup at close intervals..taking aspirin, multivitamins, avoiding red meat, taking high fiber diet helps in reducing ur cancer risk.. fecal occult blood testing, serum CEA blood tests can be done now.. get an appointment with an oncologist and review your reports please...
