[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP reporting back. The tissue that was biopsied was precancerous.  The part embedded in the wall, was not able to be biopsied.

Options: possible  ESD procedure in one year ( with risk of perforation due to location) hemicolectomy, or yearly colonoscopies until it becomes malignant.

This is my understanding. Still processing the info. [/quote]
That's a lot to process. I'd suggest you get more than one opinion. I don't know if there's a "right" way to go here. At least what you can see is not cancerous at this point. And you'll be under a watchful eye. Good luck. [/quote]

Thank you very much. Thinking maybe the specialist endoscopist can serve as my second opinion. [/quote]
Yes, that's a good start. Don't be freaked out if there's a suggestion to talk to a colorectal surgeon in consultation with an oncologist with specialty in colon cancer. You need to be confident in your surveillance plan going forward. You seem like you're on the right track. All the best to you. [/quote]
