Nasal polyp risk to turn to cancer

Question

Asked for Female, 22 Years

Is it necessary to get nasal polyp removed? I had one such polyp 3 years ago detected but didn't get operated as the symptoms ( breathing difficulties) got better on its own by using spray... there were other issues too like sinusitis, concha bullosa etc... Recently I checked my nose through ENT.. she said if symptoms are mild then just follow precautions ( stay from allergens) Just wondering what is the risk of nasal polyp turning into cancer?
