most patients at initial screening colonoscopy have no findings relevant to cancer, such as polyps. in such patients, the time interval for a repeated examination recommended by all expert panels is 10 years. the objective of this study is to determine the frequency of early repeated colonoscopy ...
Acolonoscopyis a procedure where a provider uses a scope—a tool with a light and tiny camera—to look at your rectum and colon. They may look for problems such as polyps.3Polyps are growths of excess tissue in the large intestine or colon. Most polyps are non-cancerous, but they can...
Surveillance colonoscopy findings according to index BMI. The average follow-up period was 3.0 years, and patients underwent an average of 1.3 surveillance colonoscopies. The follow-up period (p = 0.102) and frequency of surveillance colonoscopy (p = 0.238) did not differ significantly...
although this is less frequently seen in cases ofchronic diarrhea. Ischemic colitis and other infectious colitis may also give rise to pseudomembranes. The histopathological advantage associated with colonoscopy is large. The relevant findings in Crohn's disease are focal inflammation, ulcerations, and...

“We often can detect preparation problems during the first few minutes of the procedure,” Chokshi says. “And based on this study, we would say that rather than subjecting a patient to the potential risks of a full colonoscopy when we may not be able to detect polyps, or other pre-ca...
Dr. Joel Levine, right, heads the Colon Cancer Prevention Program at UConn Health, which focuses on identifying and managing risk.

Removing precancerous growths spotted during the test can cut the risk of dying fromcolon cancerin half, the study suggests. Doctors have long assumed a benefit, but research hasn't shown before that removing polyps would improve survival - the key measure of any cancer screening's worth. So...
