Likelihood of cancer in a polyp < 5 mm.
What is very unlikely?
Persons of this ethnicity/race should have a colonoscopy before the age of 50.
What is Native American/ Alaska Native and African American?

What is 1%?

What is the FIT?
Because the last colonoscopy showed a moderate hyperplastic polyp (5-10 mm), the next colonoscopy should be performed at . . .
What is 5 years?
This modality for colon visualization requires a colon prep but does not require sedation or the interruption of anticoagulation.
What is CT colonography?
Likelihood of cancer in a polyp 1-2 cm?
What is 10%?
For patients with ulcerative colitis, screening colonoscopy is recommended beginning this number of years after diagnosis.
What is 8-10 years?
Because the last colonoscopy showed a 2 small adenomatous polyps (<1cm), the next colonoscopy should be performed at . . .
What is 5 years?
CT colonography cannot visualize polyps less than this size
What is 5 mm?
Likelihood of cancer in a polyp > 2 cm?
What is 50%?
A patient's mother was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 65. The patient should have a colonoscopy at this age.
What is 50 years old?
Because the last colonoscopy showed a large adenomatous polyp (>1 cm), the next colonoscopy should be performed at . . .
What is 3 years?
For patients on dialysis, the American Society of Nephrology recommends this modality for CRC screening.
What is no screening?
Likelihood of cancer in the next 3 years with no polyps.
What is 0.3%?
With a family history of colorectal cancer, or advanced adenomatous or advanced serrated polyps in a first-degree relative before age 60 years, screening should begin at this age.
What is screening colonoscopy every 5 years at the earlier of age 40 years or 10 years before youngest case in the immediate family?
Because the last colonoscopy showed 3 small adenomatous polyps (<1 cm), the next colonoscopy should be performed at . . .
