Mo1682 INTERVAL POST-COLONOSCOPY COLORECTAL CANCER IN A REFERRAL CENTER COHORT: A GOOD REASON TO IMPROVE THE COLONOSCOPY QUALITY

Colonoscopy has become the preferred modality for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in many countries. However, it is well recognized that colonoscopy is not perfectly sensitive for the detection of neoplasia and that CRC can be diagnosed within a short interval following a colonoscopy in which no cancer was detected. These cancers are also known as interval post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers (PCCRCs). Several clinical and endoscopy-related risk factors have been associated with the risk of developing PCCRC.
