Colonoscopies for patients aged 45-49 years yield positive results.

- Abstract
The researchers also compared Period 2 detection rates among the younger patients with those of the older groups (those who underwent initial screening or rescreening) for whom colorectal cancer screening is encouraged under new and previous guidelines. Subjects from each time period were divided into several groups: patients between the ages of 45 and 49 years and those 50 years old or older (in five-year age groups) at their initial colonoscopies as well as patients in the same age groups who were undergoing rescreening colonoscopy. They also discovered that rescreening colonoscopies were shifted to older age groups with a bell-shaped distribution around the 60- to 64-year-old group, which probably reflects second screenings among those who had their first colonoscopy in their early 50s.
