Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The important question is how to avoid colon cancer. Some polps are pre-malgnant. Colon cancer is more common in people with inflammatory bowel disese and PSC. So this is a very important question. Here are some ideas: 1. Increase vit D levels to 50+ 2. High dose urso 3. Screening colonoscopy every 1-10 years depending on if polys are found. 4.Reduce red meat and saturated fat 5.Stop smoking 6.Loose weight. 7.Nonsteriodal Anti-inflamatory Agents are used in familial polyposis (a rare genetic condition where many polyps grow). This probably wouldn't be used much in PSC because of potiental side effects. Von Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 The doctor should remove the polyps!!! Polyps can become adenomas, which are basically polyps with cell changes, and considered pre-cancerous. Normally the polyps are removed during the colonoscopy.
