The best timing for repeat colonoscopy for patients with 1 or 2 small benign polyps removed during colonoscopy is not known. This study seeks to find additional information to examine colorectal cancer incidence in participants with 1 to 2 non-advanced adenomas found on a routine screening colonoscopy. Participants will either receive a routine colonoscopy at 10 years or at 5 and 10 years.
