Symptoms Of A Tubular Adenoma

A tubular adenoma, most often characterized as a disruption in the colon lining called a polyp or a clump of cells, is fortunately benign, however, there is a risk of cancer development if the tubular adenoma is not extracted. Polyps are formed from a process similar to the tumor growth process where a mutation in one cell multiplies until there is a clump of cells with the mutation. When it grows aggressively and spreads to the rest of the body it is considered cancerous, and when it grows slowly and does not spread it is called benign. While a tubular adenoma is not particularly harmful, they should all be removed to prevent the development of cancer.
