The 61-year-old Bush had polyps removed during previous tests in 1998 and 1999 when he was governor of Texas.
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - No cancer was detected in five small growths removed from President George W. Bush during a routine colon exam over the weekend the White House said on Monday.
"The president is in good health, there's no reason for alarm," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.
Doctors on Saturday removed the small growths, known as polyps, during the colonoscopy.
However, because the doctors found five polyps, they recommended Bush have another checkup in three years Snow said.
