Guide for use:Help on this term

CODE 1   Yes

To be recorded when colorectal polyps are found in a person's colon.

This means there are abnormalities in a person's colon. As most bowel cancers are known to initiate from polyps (Cappell 2005), more tests and potential removal may be necessary.

CODE 2   No

To be recorded when no colorectal polyps are found in a person's colon.

This means there are no abnormalities in a person's colon and the person is unlikely to have bowel cancer.
