My grand mother died of colon cancer at 83. If she had of had a colonoscopy she might have made it to 93.

Yep,the entire thing is a roll of the dice in many cases.

Sorry you lost your grandmother so young.

Not good idea to do it on elderly patients unless they have a history of colorectal cancer.

The time its mostly likely to strike is between the 50-70 year old range.

A neighbor—a WW2 war hero—in his 80s “died on the table” during a colonoscopy.
