7. Post-removal surveillance

After a tubular adenoma is removed, it’s important to keep checking the colon for new polyps. The timing of your next colonoscopy depends on several things, including how many polyps were found, how large they were, and what the cells looked like under a microscope.

These follow-up checks help catch any new growths early and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer over time.
