Long-term Risk of Colorectal Cancer by Gender after Positive Colonoscopy: Population-Based Cohort Study.

CONCLUSION: Surveillance intervals for men based on incidence of CRC are in line with that recommended by the current guidelines for colonoscopy. But, an additional extension of 3-5 years may be appropriate for women. To target personalized medicine, a risk predictive model could be used to identify an appropriate surveillance interval for each individual in the future.
