La mayor\u00eda no producen s\u00edntomas hasta que crece lo suficiente, se ulcera, sangra, genera sensaci\u00f3n de urgencia en el recto o una obstrucci\u00f3n intestinal (en caso de ser muy grave).<\/p>\n<p>Existen varios tipos: inflamatorios (sin ning\u00fan potencial de c\u00e1ncer), hamartomatosos, serrados de variable potencial maligno, s\u00e9siles serrados (precursores de c\u00e1ncer) y p\u00f3lipos adenomatosos (tubulares, vellosos y t\u00fabolovellosos).<\/p>\n<p>El manejo de los diferentes tipos de p\u00f3lipos, depende de la histolog\u00eda, por lo que es muy importante obtener tejido para que el m\u00e9dico pat\u00f3logo realice un diagn\u00f3stico. La resecci\u00f3n completa del p\u00f3lipo durante la colonoscopia o la cirug\u00eda, permite determinar si es maligno o no; si compromete las arterias, los vasos cercanos o el drenaje venoso y linf\u00e1tico; y si invade la capa muscular o la pared del colon.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed mismo, el n\u00famero de p\u00f3lipos, el tama\u00f1o y la histologia determinar\u00e1n cuando debe realizarse el pr\u00f3ximo estudio de seguimiento radiol\u00f3gico o repetir la colonoscopia.<\/p>\n<p>Cada a\u00f1o, se diagnostican 145,000 casos nuevos de c\u00e1ncer de colon en los Estados Unidos, de los cuales, 51,000 morir\u00e1n ese mismo a\u00f1o. Estos n\u00fameros son muy alarmantes si recordamos que el c\u00e1ncer de colon se origina, en la inmensa mayor\u00eda a partir de p\u00f3lipos, que pueden ser detectados y removidos durante una colonoscopia.<\/p>\n<p>La Sociedad Americana de C\u00e1ncer, propone que la edad en la cual se deben iniciar las colonoscopias para la detecci\u00f3n de p\u00f3lipos y prevenci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer, disminuya de 50 a 45, dada la alta incidencia y mortalidad de la enfermedad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Por Dr. William Mayoral<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nGastroenterolog\u00eda<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamacfl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/mayoral-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un p\u00f3lipo, es una protuberancia que se desarrolla por encima de la mucosa normal del colon.
