Colon and rectal polyps occur in about 25 percent of men and women ages 50 and older. Not all polyps will turn into cancer, and it may take many years for a polyp to become cancerous. Risk factors include a family history of polyps or colon cancer; an inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease; a high-fat, low-fiber diet; tobacco and alcohol use; little exercise; and obesity.

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the University of Michigan Health System diagnose and treat diseases of the small bowel, i.e., IBD, Crohn's Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis.
