  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study aims to find the best time to repeat a colonoscopy, a test that looks inside your colon, for people with 1-2 non-advanced adenomas. These are small growths that are not likely to turn into cancer. The study compares doing a colonoscopy in 5 years versus 10 years to see if one is better at preventing colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is a common cancer in the U.S. and screening is important to catch it early. Adenomas can be the start of cancer, so doctors like to check them regularly after removal. Participants will be randomly assigned to come back for a colonoscopy after 5 years or 10 years.

  • Time Commitment: Participants need to return for follow-up colonoscopy in either 5 or 10 years.
  • Eligibility: Participants must have 1-2 small adenomas and meet other health criteria.
  • Risk and Benefits: The study will help find the best timing for follow-ups to prevent CRC.
