President Bush’s polyps are not cancerous
Filed under: Colon and Rectal Cancer, Politics, Daily news
The pathology results are in — the five small polyps removed from President Bush’s colon on Saturday are not cancerous.
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow announced today that microscopic evaluations of the five polyps confirm the preliminary diagnosis: tubular adenoma — or as Snow called them: “garden variety polyps.”
Nearly two-thirds of all polyps are adenomas, the vast majority of them tubular adenomas. It is not uncommon to find these polyps in routine colonoscopies.
“The president is in good health,” said Snow, who is currently surviving colon cancer. “There is no reason for alarm.”
President Bush, 61, will have another colonoscopy in three years.
