Objective To explore the follow-up results and research significance of colonoscopy in patients with colorectal cancer.Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 84 colorectal cancer patients from January 2020 to June 2023.Colonoscopy was performed using the Olympus CV290 electronic colonoscope,and the examination results were recorded.The general condition,medical history,personal lifestyle,and dietary habits of the patients were followed up.Result 40 patients(47.62%)had normal results during the initial colonoscopy,while 44 patients(52.38%)had abnormal results.Age,gender,number of lesion position and location of adenoma were all risk factors for detecting adenomas in patients with abnormal initial colonoscopy results during colonoscopy follow-up.Conclusion The more follow-up times,the greater the likelihood of detecting recurrent adenomas in the follow-up results.Studying and determining the appropriate follow-up time is the fundamental task.It is important to stratify the risk of recurrent adenoma patients and conduct real-time colonoscopy follow-up to reduce adenoma recurrence and prevent colorectal cancer.
