My mom is now under the care of my Doc and is having a colonoscopy today to remove the remaining polyps. Doc said anyone with polyps should have colonscopy every 2 years. I also was told that with Crohns, if you have had disease for 8 years or more they want more frequent colonoscopies I assume every other year.
(About 90 percent of new cases and 95 percent of colon cancer deaths occur after age 50.) Screening are a test for blood in the stool, repeated annually; an exam with a thin, flexible tube called a sigmoidoscope every five years; or a colonoscopy every 10 years.When you talk to someone who has had precancerous lesions or early cancer because of a colonoscopy, they tell you how glad they are they had the test.â. If the exam is normal, a colonoscopy should be repeated every 10 years up to the age of 75.
