Answer:

Polyps are considered potentially malignant, which is why they have to be detected and biopsied through a colonoscopy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colonoscopy is an invasive study, requiring general sedation and even possible general anesthesia.

Colonoscopy is a study that is not only done to detect intestinal polyps but also other pathologies, both benign and malignant in the intestine.

Intestinal polyps have a nodular appearance and must be controlled in addition to a strict diet by the patient to reduce the risk of malignancy.

It is a different pathology to intestinal diberticles.
