Negative colonoscopy results buy you ten years or more

There is little empirical evidence available about the optimal interval for screening, making this a subject of debate. researchers deduced in a Gastroenterology study that the low risk of Colorectal Cancer and advanced adenomas after a negative colonoscopy supports suggestions that screening intervals be extended to more than 10 years.

Bonnie - gastroenterologists certainly will not like to see this study.
