My husbands father died of adenocarcinoma that spread to his liver. He died at age 50. What are my husbands chances of getting it  since he smokes and is 43 yrs old. He has smoked since age 14 and he had a colonoscopy 2 yrs ago with 4 polyps removed in which 3 of them were the kind that cause cancer if not removed. What kind of percentage risk does he have?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your husband has family history of cancer.  So he has high chance of colon cancer.  Moreover, polyp can turn into malignancy.  So he should go for regular colonoscopy.  It will help you to prevent colon cancer. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
