Comorbidity must be considered when making recommendations about CRC screening with older patients. In a retrospective study of 404 VA patients over age 75 who underwent colonoscopy and were followed for 5 years, only 8 (2 percent) were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The majority of patients passed away from other causes. Only age and severity of comorbidity were risk factors for death within 5 years of colonoscopy [3].
