Abstract
Over a 14-year follow-up period, negative complete colonoscopy was associated with a subsequent reduced incidence of CRC overall, and of incident CRC in the distal colon. However, the reduction in incidence of proximal CRC differed in magnitude and timing, and occurred in half the follow-up years, mainly after 7 years of follow-up. These results highlight an important limitation of colonoscopy in usual clinical practice.
