Are all colon polyps biopsied

Not all colon polyps are biopsied. Typically, polyps that are larger or have concerning features during colonoscopy are biopsied to determine if they are cancerous or precancerous. Smaller, benign-looking polyps may be removed and sent for histological examination, but not all require a biopsy. The decision often depends on the size, type, and appearance of the polyp, as well as the patient's medical history.
