I had a 3 cm polyp removed about 15 years ago.
I’ve had the FIT test a number of times since but not the colonoscopy I very much need to get.
3cm should be followed up by another colonoscopy in a few years, not decades.
I hate that test but I hate dying a slow torturous death more so I need to get on it.
Good article.
The FIT test is not an appropriate test for those with known or high risk for polyps / malignancy. A 3 cm polyp, unless hyperplastic, which those that size are not likely, should be followed. by a second colonoscopy in 1 year but certainly no less than 3 years.
