Probability of Collateral Cancer After Clear Colonoscopy a Few Years Prior?

Hey gang,

Although aware that a precancerous polyp evolving into malignancy is a slow process, what is the probability of said polyp appearing and collateral cancer developing three to four years following a clear colonoscopy, in which no polyps were discovered?

Has this happened to anyone here?

Thank you in advance!
