Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old male who is a nonsmoker and a social drinker. Other than a statin, I am not taking any medications. I have been getting colonoscopies every five years as each time several benign polyps have been found. When I was 67, a couple of precancerous polyps were found along with some benign ones. Because of this, my next colonoscopy was scheduled for three years later.
