PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if maintenance therapy with nivolumab can decrease the incidence of colon adenomas in a population of patients with genetic predisposition to colorectal cancer and a history of hemicolectomy due to colon cancer or advanced colon adenoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the safety of nivolumab maintenance therapy in this population. II. To obtain preliminary data on the short-term incidence of advanced colon adenomas (measuring greater than 10 mm or with high-grade dysplasia) and colon and non-colonic cancers in Lynch patients treated with maintenance nivolumab. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine biomarkers of immunologic activity associated with biologic activity of nivolumab in this population. OUTLINE: Participants receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 months for a total of 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 3 months, every 6 months for 1 year, then every 12 weeks thereafter.
