At 22 i had a small colon adenoma removed. ive had 3 clean follow ups since as 1,3 and 5 yrs. can my surveillance intervals be stretched to 10 years now? im only 36.

Family history: If there is no family history of early onset colon cancer, it could be stretched to 10 years. Talk to your doctor and consider doing a FIT test each year to add one more measure to monitor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
