45 with one positive rehydrated FOBT, 9.8<br />

with one positive non-rehydrated FOBT<br />

and only 2.7 if two positive non-rehydrated<br />

positive FOBT are required. The chance of<br />

finding a <strong>cancer</strong> in the five years after negative<br />

colonoscopy is very small. This justifies<br />

the tendency towards screening with<br />

primary endoscopy to explore at ten-year<br />

intervals or once in a lifetime. A recent<br />

comparative but non-randomized Finnish<br />

study on the endoscopic detection of neoplasia<br />

in families fulfilling the Amsterdam<br />

Screening with primary sigmoidoscopy is<br />
