How easy is it to get cancer?

Broad-based intestinal polyps are known as broad-based polyps. Broad-based polyps are more likely to become cancerous when they are more than 2 cm in diameter, but the actual situation varies from person to person.

Broad-based polyps are one of the types of intestinal polyps, and their bottom is wider. Generally speaking, if the diameter of broad-based polyps is more than 2 cm, gene mutations are more likely to occur during the growth of polyps, which in turn leads to an increased risk of cancer. However, it should be noted that long-term exposure to chemicals, ionizing radiation, and polyps belonging to adenomatous polyps will also increase the risk of cancer. Therefore, even if the polyp is less than 2 cm in size, it is necessary to be alert to the risk of cancer. If cancer is suspected, surgery should be performed in time to remove the lesion.
