Adenoma Detection After NER1006 Bowel Preparation May Identify Men Who Require Shorter Colonoscopy Surveillance Periods

Colonoscopy is routinely performed for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and surveillance following polyp removal and CRC. Colorectal adenomas and CRC are more prevalent in men than women undergoing screening colonoscopy,1,2 and being male was predictive of inadequate bowel preparation.3 High-quality bowel preparation is important for screening colonoscopy adenoma detection, underscoring the critical role of adequate bowel preparation in CRC prevention.4 For average-risk adults with normal colonoscopy findings, the US Multi-Society Task Force on CRC recommends a 10-year interval between surveillance colonoscopies.
