Is 4mm polyp in ascending colon something to be concerned about.

I had colonoscopy today. A 4mm polyp was removed. Is this considered large? Should I worry it will come back as cancer?

You should be fine. Just go back every 5 years and sooner if you notice a change
in bowel habits or blood in the stool. Good luck!
