Yield of Surveillance Colonoscopies 1 Year After Curative Surgical Colorectal Cancer Resections.

CONCLUSION: Despite high colonoscopy quality, the yield of CRC at surveillance colonoscopy 1 year after CRC resection was 1.7%. These were metachronous CRCs and recurrences, often of advanced stage. The high yield justifies the recommendation of a 1-year surveillance interval after surgical CRC resection. PMID: 30802606 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
