What is the outlook for people with adenomas?

If you receive treatment for an adenoma, the outlook is typically very good. Many types of adenomas respond well to treatment and do not turn into cancer.

Some adenomas, such as adenomas in the colon, carry a higher risk of cancer. It’s important to seek treatment right away if you suspect you have an adenoma. Having a colonoscopy when your provider recommends it can catch adenomas in the colon while they’re small.
