- Abstract
Colonoscopy with removal of polyps may strongly reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality. Recommended time intervals to surveillance colonoscopy differ between countries and have recently been extended to 5 yr or longer for the majority of cases in the United States. Whereas previous evidence is mainly based on observations of adenoma recurrence, we aimed to assess risk of CRC occurrence according to time since polypectomy.
