Are dysplastic adenomatous polyps dangerous?

Question
Hello doctor,
Three children born in 1964 have just removed the descending colon polyp, and the test results concluded that it is a moderate dysplastic adenoma. So the doctor asked me if polyps with dysplastic adenomas are dangerous? After a long time to be examined again, my father still has dull pain in his abdomen. I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Are dysplastic adenomas dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to tell me more about whether the polyp has a stem or wide legs, how big and small it is, is there only one polyp in the colon or there are many more, the test is only Tumor marker CEA, CA 19-9.. What is the result, in the father's family, is there anyone in the family with polyps/digestive (or colorectal) cancer? .. the doctor can advise you exactly. In general, with such pathology, it is not too worrisome. Your father needs to be re-examined for CEA every 6 months. Colonoscopy every 12 months. If you have abdominal CT scan or MRI once a year.
If you still have questions about moderate dysplastic adenomatous polyps, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
