Colonoscopy Showed Polyp That Was Normal, Biopsy Showed Precancerous. What Is The Cause?
i had a colonoscopy two years ago and my doctor found two SSA s I just had another colonoscopy last week and yesterday when i went for the follow up this is what i was told.. he told me he saw a polyp but did not take it out due to the fact it looked normal. but the biopsy came back as precancerous so now i have to have another. why would he just take it out the first time?

if there is feasible to remove the polyp it is better to remove. if not , should be under observation by oncologist.
