Dont think there is one to screen for UC.
But if a pt has UC, you need to do colonscopy 10 yrs after the diagnosis was made.

screening is fr ca breast/colon and cervix only
due to high risk of colon ca in UC pts---
UC--10 yrs after the dx--annual surveillance fr dysplasia(colonoscopy+bx)
LG dysplasia--treat the pt--->if tt fails---> colectomy
HG dysplasia--->confirm the dx --> colectomy
CD --if there is a lot of colonic inv then annual surveillance after 10 yrs of dx

Annual or biennial colonoscopy with multiple biopsies has been advocated for patients with >8 to 10 years of pancolitis or 12 to 15 years of left-sided colitis and has been widely employed to screen and survey for subsequent dysplasia and carcinoma.
