BACKGROUND AND AIMS: As shown previously, 40- to 50-year-old first-degree relatives of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) have significantly more colorectal adenomas than controls of the same age. Screening colonoscopy of these persons at risk between 40 and 50 years might be cost beneficial. METHODS: We prepared a detailed cost-benefit analysis of screening colonoscopy and possible repeat endoscopies...
