Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your service sir,
Have seen your concern and I appreciate it,
When they find a polyp on colonoscopy...A small sample of it is taken out by that machine..That sample is studied under a microscope.
So any cancer has 4 stages plus a precancerous stage.
Precancerous stage means a stage when normal cells have started to show changes but at that point it's not sure if those cells will become cancerous or not.
And therefore colonoscopy is repeated after every 2 year to keep a watch on it .
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks!
