Protection From Colorectal Cancer After Colonoscopy: A Population-Based, Case–Control Study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the association between previous colonoscopy and risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) in a population-based case-control study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association scan identifies a colorectal cancer susceptibility locus on 11q23 and replicates risk loci at 8q24 and 18q21.

TL;DR: Findings extend the understanding of the role of common genetic variation in CRC etiology by identifying a previously unreported association, rs3802842 on 11q23, and carrying all six possible risk alleles yielded OR = 2.6 (95% CI = 1.75–3.89) for CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of screening sigmoidoscopy and screening colonoscopy on colorectal cancer incidence and mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and observational studies.

TL;DR: Compelling and consistent evidence from randomised controlled trials and observational studies suggests that screening sigmoidoscopy and screening colonoscopy prevent most deaths from distal colorectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protection From Right- and Left-Sided Colorectal Neoplasms After Colonoscopy: Population-Based Study

TL;DR: Prevalence of left- sided advanced colorectal neoplasms, but not right-sided advanced neoplasm, was strongly reduced within a 10-year period after colonoscopy, even in the community setting.
