Reply to "Flex Sigmoidoscopy Frequency"

I get it done much less frequently, and the recommendations seem to vary quite a bit. I do plan on having one later this year. The risk of cuff cancer should be considerably lower than the cancer risk UC creates in an entire colon, but it definitely isn't zero. Risk factors like FAP, prior dysplasia, or chronic cuff inflammation would strengthen the argument for regular monitoring.
