5. The importance of polyp removal

Removing tubular adenomas early is one of the best ways to prevent colorectal cancer.

Doctors usually take them out during a colonoscopy. They may use a small wire loop (called a snare) or gentle heat to remove the polyp.

Getting rid of these growths before they change helps lower your cancer risk and keeps your colon healthy.
