About The Study: In this study, a decrease in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence was observed among individuals with negative results in screening colonoscopies, with a greater decrease in men, supporting risk-based, individualized follow-up strategies. A high-risk group for CRC was identified among individuals who did not adhere to follow-up colonoscopy, enabling targeted interventions to improve early CRC detection.
