Virk GS, et al. - In this retrospective analysis of US male veterans who had a colonoscopy with the Veterans Affair (VA) Health Care System, researchers determined the rate of colonoscopies and colorectal cancer (CRC) in octogenarians and nonagenarians and investigated CRC prevalence in this population. They gathered data in this population to expand CRC screening guidelines. Increase in age was accompanied by a statistically significant linear rise in rate of colonoscopies, this implies that a colonoscopy for one reason or the other is eventually performed in veterans who end up living to a higher age. A statistical variance was noted in the drop in CRC percentage and prevalence observed in age group 85–90 years vs that observed in 80–84 years and >90 years groups; its importance is not clear.
