Core Tip	Military and commercial airline pilots are exposed to cosmic radiation and other specific occupational factors. Several epidemiological studies on a possible elevated cancer risk, including colorectal cancer, among flight personnel have yielded contradictory results. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of colorectal neoplasms among Israeli military and commercial pilots and to compare it with the incidence of colorectal neoplasms among the general population. We found that the prevalence of colorectal adenomas, advanced adenoma and cancer is not higher, and tends to be even lower, among aircrew than that of the general population. It seems that ionizing radiation does not constitute a risk factor for colorectal cancer among air crew personal.
