“…although surveillance colonoscopies are beneficial for early detection, they are often underutilized. One study indicated that out of 4,491 participants globally, only 2,482 underwent screening colonoscopies as recommended (Johnson et al, 2020). Risk factors for not obtaining recommended surveillance colonoscopies are risk of surgery, risk of developing colon cancer, and risk of death.…”

Colon cancer is the third leading cancer globally and the second dominant cause of cancer-related deaths in both males and females (Muthukrishnan, arnold, & James, 2019). Locally, certain populations are at a higher risk of developing colon cancer than others. Individuals with chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) are 60% more likely to develop colon cancer than the average-risk population (Kinugasa & akagi, 2016). although colon cancer is a leading cancer nationally, it is also preventable through early detection. screening colonoscopies have shown to be a far superior method for colon cancer screening, with one study noting that out of 9,845 participants 62 were diagnosed with colorectal cancer by surveillance colonoscopy and 3,861 had adenomatous polyps (Bretthauer et al., 2016).to detect colon cancer sooner, it is important to follow colon cancer screening guidelines. screening colonoscopies are recommended starting at age 45 and every 10 years until the age of 75 (american Cancer society, 2020). For adults who have pancolitis or leftsided colitis diagnosed greater than 7 years, it is recommended they obtain a surveillance colonoscopy annually (Bae & Kim, 2014). Despite colon cancer being
