Do UK guidelines catch more colon polyps than US?

NEW YORK, Dec 20: –    UK guidelines for colon cancer surveillance might be better at catching pre-cancerous polyps early on than US ones, a new study suggests. Because the UK guidelines recommend people at high risk of cancer come back one year after their initial colonoscopy, more worrisome polyps could be caught early than in the U.S., where the wait time between exams is typically three years, researchers said.
