Adenoma, advanced adenoma and colorectal cancer prevalence in asymptomatic 40‐ to 49‐year‐old subjects with a first‐degree family history of colorectal cancer

Abstract

In our population of FDRs of CRC patients, 40-49 years of age, the prevalences of adenoma and advanced adenoma were similar to those observed in older subjects with the same CRC risk. Our data support the current indication to perform screening colonoscopy earlier than 45 years of age in subjects at high CRC risk.
