How long would a 5mm adenomatous colon polyp take to turn into malignant cancer?

I had one removed, and now I need to go back for yearly screenings. I'm just wondering had I not gone, how many more years it would have taken to turn into colon cancer.

Perhaps it wouldn't have or will not turn into colon cancer. A yearly scanning is a good idea. If the doctors were concerned, you would be reviewed more often. Not all growths are cancerous. Don't worry!
