I am new to this forum.
I am 41yrs old, I've had left sided UC since age 14. Most recent colonoscopy 1 year following my last, a Sessile Serrated Adenoma was found in my cecum. Thankfully UC is in inactive with max dose of daily Asacol, but now a bit worried about new finding. Just wasn't on my radar I guess, as I have no family Hx of CC, or polyps, nor any seen with previous colonoscopies. I am already on high surveillance with long UC Hx with recommended scopes every 1-2yrs. Looks like these lesions have a tendency to reoccur as can be difficult to remove. Any others with IBD and sessile serrated adenoma findings? Also wondering about good research that indicates time it may take for right sided SSA's to turn malignant? Can genetic testing helpful? My follow up apt is next week, so thought I'd throw some of these questions out there.
Thank you!
