[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] COLORECTAL CANCER RISK AFTER COLONOSCOPY IN ELDERLY DIABETES PATIENT AND MEN [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA [Amount] $0 [Summary] Screening for colorectal cancer can reduce the risk of cancer and cancer-related mortality. Given the increased incidence of CRC in elderly male patients or elderly DM patients, it is important to determine whether the recommended 10-year interval between colonoscopies without polyps offers adequate protection to these high risk groups. Our study will help establish the appropriate time interval for elderly men and elderly DM patients to undergo a second colonoscopy following a negative colonoscopy so that they will not be facing an unacceptably high rate of preventable CRC morbidity and mortality.
