Location
Polyps grow in the colorectal part of the intestine. The colon, or large intestine, consists of three sections: the ascending colon, found on the right side of the body; the transverse, which goes straight across the abdomen; and the descending colon, found on the left. The colon connects to the small intestine at one end and the rectum at the other. If stretched out, the colon would be between 4 to 6-feet long. The rectum comprises the last 8 to 12 inches of the intestinal tract. Most polyps that turn cancerous occur in the rectum and the sigmoid colon, the last part of the large intestine, the Merck Manual explains.
