Context Compared with white individuals, black men and women have a higher incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer and may develop cancer at a younger age. Colorectal cancer screening might be less effective in black individuals, if there are racial differences in the age- adjusted prevalence and location of cancer precursor lesions.Objectives To determine and compare the prevalence rates and location of polyps sized more than 9 mm in diameter in asymptomatic black and white individuals who received colonoscopy screening.Design, Setting, and Patients Colonoscopy data were prospectively collected from 67 adult gastrointestinal practice sites in the United States using a computerized endoscopic report generator between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2005. Data were transmitted to a central data repository, where all asymptomatic white ( n = 80 061) and black ( n= 5464) patients who had received screening colonoscopy were identified.Main Outcome Measures Prevalence and location of polyps sized more than 9 mm, adjusted for age, sex, and family history of colorectal cancer in a multivariate analysis.Results Both black men and women had a higher prevalence of polyps sized more than 9 mm in diameter compared with white men and women ( 422 [ 7.7%] vs 4964 [ 6.2%]; P
