There were 17 AEs overall -- six in the AI-first group and 11 in the standard colonoscopy first group. Two patients in the standard group discontinued due to AEs, but none were judged to be serious.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code N40 N40.
Tubular adenomas are precancerous polyps in your colon typically found during colonoscopies. These polyps are your body's early warning system for colorectal (colon) cancer. While about 50% of the population develops tubular adenomas, less than 10% of tubular adenomas become cancerous. Cancer Answer Line 866.223.8100.
“Code Z86. 010, Personal history of colonic polyps, should be assigned when 'history of colon polyps' is documented by the provider.
Adenomatous polyps (adenomas) of the colon and rectum are benign (noncancerous) growths, but may be precursor lesions to colorectal cancer. Polyps greater than one centimeter in diameter are associated with a greater risk of cancer. If polyps are not removed, they continue to grow and can become cancerous.
Tubular adenomas are the most common type. They're considered benign, or noncancerous. But sometimes cancer can develop in an adenoma if it isn't removed. If adenomas become cancerous, they're referred to as adenocarcinomas.
Adenomatous polyps, often known as adenomas , are a type of polyps that can turn into cancer. Adenomas may form in the mucous membrane of the lining in the large intestine, making them colon polyps. Another type of adenoma is gastric polyps , which form in the lining of the stomach.
A family history but no personal history of colon polyps or colon cancer is sometimes considered surveillance and does not fall under screening benefits.
Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
An exam can be reported as a surveillance colonoscopy is the patient has a history of polyps, is now returning for a follow-up exam and is otherwise asymptomatic. Code Z86. 010 (Personal history of colonic polyps) should be reported if the previous polyps were benign.
ICD-10 code K63. 5 for Polyp of colon is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
About 70 percent of all polyps are adenomatous, making it the most common type of colon polyp. When this type of polyp is found, it is tested for cancer. Only a small percentage actually become cancerous, but nearly all malignant polyps began as adenomatous.

Most of the time, adenomas are removed during a colonoscopy. Sometimes, though, the adenoma may be too large to remove during colonoscopy. In such cases you may need surgery to have the adenoma removed.
Colon cancer, or cancer that begins in the lower part of the digestive tract, usually forms from a collection of benign (noncancerous) cells called an adenomatous polyp. Most of these polyps will not become malignant (cancerous), but some can slowly turn into cancer over the course of about 10-15 years.
Doctors generally remove them anyway, just to be safe. Adenomas: Many colon polyps are the precancerous type, called adenomas. It can take seven to 10 or more years for an adenoma to evolve into cancer—if it ever does. Overall, only 5% of adenomas progress to cancer, but your individual risk is hard to predict.
Patients with one or two small (less than 1 cm) tubular adenomas, including those with only low-grade dysplasia, should have their next follow-up colonoscopy in five to 10 years.
