| Core Tip |
Due to health, financial and social burden of colorectal cancer (CRC), it is necessary to assess the risk of cancer development earlier. National Cancer Institute (NCI) CRC risk prediction model helps identifying people who are at increased risk of developing CRC. Our study demonstrated that NCI CRC risk prediction tool could also estimate the risk of having Adenomatous polyps (AP) in patients undergoing screening or surveillance colonoscopy. The results revealed that the odds ratios of AP prevalence increase progressively throughout the five quintiles of risk scores. Therefore, measures to increase the effectiveness of CRC screening in these patients should be implemented using longer withdrawal times, early surveillance colonoscopy, and choosing flexible colonoscopy over other CRC screening modalities. |
