We keep pushing people to get colonoscopies and tell them its to remove polyps. And, when we find them, we cut those polyps right out. But what happens after that. Other than the "we sent it to biopsy" right after the procedure to a phone call telling you what it was and (more importantly) when you need to the next one. But what happens when a polyp is "biopsied?" Join me and Dr. Michael Misialek, the Associate Chairman of Pathology at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts as we talk about what happens to that little piece of you when it goes to to pathology.
Questions about biopsies? Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS
After this, we will expand the conversation to all of Digestive Disease with Gastroenterology Update where I will tell you the latest and greatest news in the world of GI and answer your questions and tweets.
In our second hour I will be continuing to take your calls with Ask Doctor Ira and we will also be talking about health in Native American populations.
