My husband had colon polyps 15 years ago and is now diagnosed with prostate cancer. Could there be a relationship to that?

That is a good question because my grandfather-in-law had prostate cancer 13 years ago and has an appointment to see if he has polyps.. Never thought of that maybe it is..
I am going to ask that question tomorrow, that's when his appointment is.

Prostate Cancer is actually quite common in men. Each year, around 27,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK, making it the most common cancer in men.
Some men may never have any symptoms or problems from the disease. Some types of prostate cancer can be slow-growing and may not become a serious threat to your health. Whereas others are a faster-growing and aggressive form and can be more harmful.
Without seeing your husbands notes it is hard to make this diagnosis.
Polyps are growths which develop in the colon and other parts of the body as well. They vary in size and appearance. They may look like a wart when small and when they grow they may appear like a cherry on a stem or fig. They are important because they can with time turn into cancer. Sometimes they can bleed causing anemia. A polyp is defined as a growth that projects, often on a stalk, from the lining of the intestine or rectum

It does not imply it is colon melanoma. The polyps can also be benign. Doctors determined a HUGE polyps in my father after a colonoscopy. It wasn't hazardous and it was once eliminated. Also, it might take months to get the outcome again provided that they ought to ship it to a some distance away lab to scan the pattern. Otherwise, a typical time is a couple of weeks. My dad additionally had bladder melanoma in a complicated degree and he is been transparent of it for over a 12 months now. So despite the fact that it's, there is desire.

Short answer no! Not in any statistical sense but older men are susceptible to both colon cancer and prostate cancer as a group so exam becomes necessary for both

The only relationship is that your husband has cancer and will require lots of check ups. Both of these are curable and you all are lucky....
