2. Understanding the spectrum: Size matters

The size of a tubular adenoma helps doctors decide how serious it might be.

  • Small polyps (less than 1 centimeter) are usually low-risk and less likely to turn into cancer.
  • Larger polyps (more than 1 centimeter) have a higher chance of becoming cancer if they’re not treated.

That’s why it’s important to find and remove larger adenomas early.
