Adenomas are commonly diagnosed in patients younger than age 50 undergoing colonoscopy. Adenomas in young people often initiate surveillance at shorter than the recommended intervals, perhaps out of fear the adenoma represents genetic predisposition to colorectal cancer (CRC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a national study of 54,284 U.S. veterans younger than 50 who underwent colonoscopy, 13% had at least one adenoma. With a median follow-up of nearly 5 years in both the adenoma and nonadenoma groups, only 3 patients (0.08%) developed CRC in the adenoma group and only 13 (0.03%) in the nonadenoma group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among those with an advanced adenoma at baseline, the hazard ratio for CRC was increased 8-fold. However, those with nonadenomas had no increase in CRC risk (hazard ratio, 0.8).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
