Conflicting guideline recommendations for screening colonoscopy result due to scant data
upon which to develop appropriate recommendations. No previous study has compared the
prevalence of advanced adenomas or adenomas (any size) among 40-49 year old individuals with
a first degree relative (FDR) with colorectal cancer (CRC) versus 40-49 year old average
risk individuals with no family history of CRC. The purpose of this study is to determine
the prevalence of colon adenomas in 40-49 year old individuals and identify risk factors
associated with the presence of advanced adenomas. This data will provide evidence to
determine appropriate colon cancer screening guidelines in 40-49 year old persons with a
family history of colon polyps or colorectal cancer.


Inclusion Criteria:

- 40-49 year old asymptomatic men and women referred for colorectal cancer screening
with a family history of CRC in a first degree relative;

- 40-49 year old asymptomatic men and women referred for colorectal cancer screening
with a family history of polyps in a first degree relative;

- 40-49 year old men and women without a family history of CRC or polyps in a first
degree relative who are referred for colonoscopy to evaluate scant hematochezia
characterized as red blood on toilet tissue after wiping or small droplets of blood
on stool or in toilet water after evacuating stool, abdominal discomfort or altered
bowel habits characterized as constipation or diarrhea.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Personal history of iron deficiency anemia within six months of referral;

- Personal history of iron deficiency without anemia within six months of referral;

- Personal history of (+) FOBT within one year of referral;

- Personal history of previous colonoscopy or barium enema within the past 10 years;

- Personal history of previous flexible sigmoidoscopy in the past 5 years;

- Personal history of adenoma, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, HNPCC, or
