Five-year colon surveillance after screening colonoscopy.

TLDR
There is a strong association between results of baseline screening colonoscopy and rate of serious incident lesions during 5.5 years of surveillance and patients with 1 or 2 tubular adenomas less than 10 mm represent a low-risk group compared with other patients with colon neoplasia.

American College of Gastroenterology Guidelines for Colorectal Cancer Screening 2008

TL;DR: This document is the first update of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) colorectal cancer screening recommendations since 2000, and it is recognized that colonoscopy is not available in every clinical setting because of economic limitations.

Long-Term Colorectal-Cancer Incidence and Mortality after Lower Endoscopy

TL;DR: Colorectal cancer diagnosed within 5 years after colonoscopy was more likely than cancer diagnosed after that period or without prior endoscopy to have CIMP and microsatellite instability and colonoscopic was also associated with a modest reduction in the incidence of proximal colon cancer.

Colorectal cancer screening and surveillance: clinical guidelines and rationale-update based on new evidence

TL;DR: These guidelines differ from those published in 1997 in several ways: the screening interval for double contrast barium enema has been shortened to 5 years, and colonoscopy is the preferred test for the diagnostic investigation of patients with findings on screening and for screening patients with a family history of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.

Estimating the Relative Risk in Cohort Studies and Clinical Trials of Common Outcomes

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the incorrect application of a proposed method to estimate an adjusted relative risk from an adjusted odds ratio, which has quickly gained popularity in medical and public health research, and to describe alternative statistical methods for estimating anadjusted relative risk when the outcome is common.

Computed tomographic virtual colonoscopy to screen for colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic adults.

TL;DR: CT virtual colonoscopy with the use of a three-dimensional approach is an accurate screening method for the detection of colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic average-risk adults and compares favorably with optical Colonoscopy in terms of the Detection of clinically relevant lesions.

Use of Colonoscopy to Screen Asymptomatic Adults for Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: Colonoscopic screening can detect advanced colonic neoplasms in asymptomatic adults with or without distal neoplasia, and many of these neoplasm would not be detected with sigmoidoscopy.

American Cancer Society guidelines for the early detection of cancer.

TL;DR: Recommendations for the “cancer‐related check‐up,” in which clinical encounters provide case‐finding and health counseling opportunities, and an update of the most recent data pertaining to participation rates in cancer screening by age, gender, and ethnicity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and National Health Interview Survey.
