Tests for Colon Dysplasia

Hello

I have yearly colonoscopies after having bowel cancer 5 years ago and have had Ulcerative Colitis for over 40 years. This week, I had the colonoscopy and the attitude of my consultant was quite different.

He was very keen to mention how high risk I am and that he would be taking lots of biospies, looking for colon dyplasia.He took about 30

He found no polyps and my recent blood tests & MRI as part of my surveillance were negative.

Like an idiot I have been researching on the internet and everytime I see dysplasia it seems to be linked to Polyps, which I haven't got.

Has anyone got experience or knowledge of this, if he finds high grade dysplasia is that pre cancerous stage, does it turn into Polyp, could it have spread?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

    I get a second opinion on that for sure it points too cancer but a second and sometimes third opinions help.on that is it severe or moderate dysplasia if its severe or even moderate its cancer either way.
