Study Objective

Compare the neoplastic outcome of participants at average risk for colorectal cancer who undergo colonoscopy vs annual fecal occult blood tests. Evaluate the endoscopic and clinical resources required for these screening methods in these participants. Relate the benefit-to-harm ratio in participants undergoing these screening methods and determine the level of participation of participants undergoing these screening methods.

Why is the National Colonoscopy Study important?

The National Colonoscopy Study will determine if a screening colonoscopy is as good as an annual Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) for early detection of polyps in the colon.
