What should the maximum wait times ideally be for colonoscopies?
The Canadian Association of Gastroenterology has published a Canadian consensus on medically acceptable wait times and set benchmarks which recommend a colonoscopy be completed within two months for those with a positive FOBT and six months for a screening colonoscopy. ColonCancerCheck’s program benchmarks (adapted from CAG Benchmarks) are eight weeks for those with a positive FOBT and 26 weeks for those with a family history of CRC.
