| Colon polyps come in two forms, namely hyperplastic and adenomatous. These are the types of polyps that are sought during a flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. Prognosis Early removal of the polyp results in a significant decrease in the chances that a patient will develop colon cancer. People with a prior colon polyp have as much as a 50% chance of developing more colon polyps within three years of their diagnosis. |
