BACKGROUND: Studies regarding the associations between different types of @entity5 in the same @entity1 are very few and not always come to the same conclusions. Several hypothesis are suggested and particularly genetic and socioeconomical ones seem to offer an interpretation of this issue. Early detection of a second @entity5 allows to improve prognosis and survival. The knowledge of correlations between @entity5 help to select a population, with a high risk to develop a second @entity5 , to be included in a screening program. Nowadays thanks to early detection of @entity0 , ten years survival is more than 75%. @entity1 who had @entity0 now live longer and so could have a higher risk to develop a second @entity5 . METHODS: From September 1998 to September 1999 in our Department 71 @entity1 operated for @entity0 , underwent screening colonscopy. No @entity1 refused to be included in the study. Mean age was 61 years (range 36-87). Each @entity1 had a clinician interview in order to explain the goals of the study. RESULTS: Results show that among all @entity1 3 (4.2%) presented a history of @entity694 , 18.3% (13 cases) presented large bowel @entity1127 . In 84.60% @entity1 (11 cases) @entity1127 were found not over 40 cm. This study shows that 93% of @entity1 (66 cases) had a relative with @entity5 history. CONCLUSIONS: Our results compared with those of other authors seem to show an increased risk for @entity0 @entity1 in developing @entity1127 or @entity694 , so we suggest to insert sigmoidoscopy in standard follow-up of @entity0 @entity1 .
