·If a polyp is found, the colonoscopy should be repeated after 3 years.

·When there are multiple family members, screening colonoscopy should be performed at age 25 and every 1 to 2 years (characteristic of persons with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome)

·When there is a family history of colon cancer, screening should begin at age 40 or ten years prior to the age of the family member. The earlier date is respected.
Follow-up examinations for persons with family histories of colon cancer should occur at 5-year intervals.
