Colon Polyps Directory

Colon polyps are common intestinal growths. Though a majority of colon polyps are benign, many can become cancerous over time. Risk factors include age, family history of colorectal cancer, race, and more. Oftentimes symptoms are not present; the polyps are found during screening tests such as a colonoscopy. Treatment involves removing polyps during the colonoscopy or via surgery. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how colon polyps are caused, what they look like, treatments, and much more.
