What if the colonoscopy doesn’t show anything?
A clear colonoscopy means that no polyps or cancerous growths were detected. This means that there is a low risk of developing bowel cancer within the next ten years. Medical experts advise that another FOBT is completed in five years time. No test is 100% accurate, however, so if, in the meantime, people develop any of the symptoms of bowel cancer they should see their doctor as soon as possible.
