Risk of Developing Colorectal Cancer Following a Negative Colonoscopy Examination

Abstract

The risk of developing colorectal cancer remains decreased for more than 10 years following the performance of a negative colonoscopy. There is a need to improve the early detection rate of right-sided colorectal neoplasia in usual clinical practice.

3-L Split-dose is Superior to 2-L Polyethylene Glycol in Bowel Cleansing in Chinese Population

“…The authors concluded that this might be partly attributable to the inadequate bowel cleansing that affects the right colon more than the rest of the colorectum. 25 ADR in the whole colorectum was similar in these 2 groups, which was consistent with previous studies. 26 – 28 Compared with other sites, the mean OBPS was much higher in 2L-group than in 3L-group in right colon.…”

The durability of previous examinations for cancer: Danish nationwide cohort study

“…Our findings can be generalized to healthcare systems similar to the UK, with comparable cancer incidence rates to Denmark, publicly funded fast-track cancer examinations, and national screening programs for breast and colorectal cancer [ 14 , 25 , 26 ]. The rates of post-colonoscopy and post-gastroscopy cancers observed in our study align with recent findings from the US and UK [ 3 , 21 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Outcomes at follow-up of negative colonoscopy in average risk population: systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The trend to a low risk for advanced neoplasms within the first 10 years seen in our review, and even beyond 10 years in terms of cancers, is consistent with what has been reported for several cohort and case-control studies assessing cancer incidence 25 61 62 63 Notably, several of these studies found that the low risk of cancer was sustained for periods exceeding 10 years by far, suggesting that it might even last for 15 or 20 years.…”
