Additional Info
- This includes benign neoplasms occurring in the lower GI tract downwards from the cecum (not including cecum)
- A non-cancerous, or benign, tumour of the colon or rectum is a growth that does not spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Non-cancerous tumours are not usually life-threatening. They usually do not cause any symptoms, but doctors may remove them to make a diagnosis.
- Most non-cancerous tumours of the colon or rectum are polyps. These growths are attached to the lining of the colon or rectum. They usually stick out from the lining and grow toward the hollow centre of the colon or rectum.
