    Citation Excerpt :

    In sporadic colorectal cancer, this period is considered, from a variety of sources but more from expert opinion, to be about 10 years.13 In LS, the polyp dwell time is estimated to be much shorter8,14,15 but has never been calculated. Nevertheless, screening and surveillance guidelines recommend colonoscopy every 1–2 years starting at age 20–25 and then annually after 40 years old.9

    Citation Excerpt :

    Such within-patient tumor heterogeneity might influence treatment strategies.15–17 Some have suggested that CRCs with DNA MMR or microsatellite instability represent a more aggressive subset and exhibit an accelerated adenoma-to-carcinoma progression.2,18 Given this natural history, it follows that such CRCs might more commonly emerge as interval cancers between scheduled surveillance examinations and account for a disproportionate number of metachronous CRCs.
