Can this be colon cancer?

I recently got an ultrasound of my abdomen, and just got the results back. It shows that I have polyps in my colon.
Is there any way that this could be cancer???

sure can be, that how candcer colon geted started.

Yes, polyps can be cancerous, but there are many that aren't. Now you have to do a lot of reading up on the 'net about polyps: that there are 3 main categories (depending upon whether they are hoisted up onto a stalk or are just growing flat), and their treatment. Doctors will be itching to look inside you now from the bottom up via colonoscopy, and pluck out the bigger, more suspicious ones "just in case". No big deal -- it's a 15, 20 min. procedure, and you get to watch what's happening onscreen. Good luck!

I had to have a colonoscopy and had polyups taken out of my colon.doctor said almost all polyps in the colon are PRE cancer cells.They should be taken out!!! Mine was taken out and in fact was PRE cancer cells,now I have to go back every three years and have it checked!!

Polyps do not necessarily mean there is any cancer present but your doctor may want to perform a colonoscopy and biopsy a few of the polyps to make sure there is no cancer present. Many people have these.

Polyps start and take a while to turn to cancer , depending how long you have had them. Get them removed, why didn't they remove them? Get a colonoscopy and it's a breeze they will get them out.

i hope they get those out. everyones right. but if they're small its just started. dont worry so much, atleast they caught it in time. :) my mom passed away early this year from colon cancer. i hope you're ok.

Polyps are polyps...usually non-malignant growths which means they're not cancerous. Discuss this thoroughly with your Dr. & express any concerns you might have.

You need to get them removed before they turn into a cancerous tumor.
