Video Summary

In this video, Joe Vicari discusses a question related to colonoscopy surveillance. A 50-year-old woman, who is at average risk, undergoes a screening colonoscopy and a 5-millimeter tubular adenoma is removed. The question asks when her first surveillance colonoscopy should be scheduled. The correct answer is seven years. According to the United States Preventative Task Force guidelines, if one to two tubular adenomas less than 10 millimeters are found during a screening colonoscopy for an average-risk person, the first surveillance colonoscopy should be scheduled within seven to ten years. Vicari encourages viewers to join the upcoming Advanced Practice Provider course to learn more about screening modalities and other interesting topics.
