Following routine colonoscopy screening, a client is told that he had several polyps removed. The client began crying stating, I just can't deal with cancer. I'm too young. The nurse responds:
 
  A) Don't worry. We have some great cancer doctors on staff. I'm sure chemo will help you fight it.
  B) Maybe if you're lucky, they have stopped it from metastasizing to your liver.
  C) A simple intestinal surgery will cure you.
  D) Most colon polyps are not cancerous. The biopsy results will direct your care.

Ans: D
Feedback:
A polyp is a growth that projects from a mucosal surface, such as the intestine. Although the term usually implies a benign neoplasm, some malignant tumors also appear as polyps. Adenomatous polyps are considered precursors to adenocarcinomas of the colon.
