About The Study: The results of this study suggest that advanced colorectal neoplasm prevalence at screening colonoscopies conducted 10 or more years after a negative screening colonoscopy is low. Extension of the currently recommended 10-year screening intervals may be warranted, especially for female and younger participants without gastrointestinal symptoms.
Authors: Thomas Heisser, M.Sc., of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, is the corresponding author.
