Abstract
In a study of incident CRC cases in Denmark, we observed that tumors found in patients who have undergone colonoscopy are more often proximal and have dMMR compared to CRCs detected in patients without previous colonoscopies. The excess of right-sided tumors and the modest independent effects of dMMR reinforce the importance of proper colonoscopic examination of the proximal large bowel.
