Participants in this study will be divided into two groups based on their prior history of polyps/cancer.  Both the researchers and the participants will know about the treatment being administered to each group. 

At entry to the study, all participants will undergo a colonoscopy and biopsy of normal tissue.

  • Group 1: Patients with no history of colorectal cancer and no colorectal  within 5 years will receive Atorvastatin (LIPITOR) 20 mg tablet daily for 6 weeks.
  • Group 2: Patients with a history of colorectal cancer and/or history of colorectal  within 5 years will receive Atorvastatin (LIPITOR) 20 mg tablet and Aspirin 325 mg tablet daily for 6 weeks

After 6 weeks of taking prescribed drugs, study participants will undergo a second colonoscopy and biopsy of normal tissue.
