Abstract
Background
Colonoscopy with detection and removal of adenomas is considered a powerful tool to reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence. However, the degree of protection achievable in a population setting with high-quality colonoscopy resources remains to be quantified.
Objective
To assess the association between previous colonoscopy and risk for CRC.
