Brief Answer:
Will be confirmed on biopsy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your query.I think I may be able to make a difference.
I would agree with the doctor that the polyp may be the cause. However, most polyps are not cancerous. They are usually benign.
Post removal of the polyp, the doctor will have to send it for biopsy. That is where the confirmation can be done between benign and malignancy.
I hope that the information helps you.
