Colonoscopy is the only method that prevents colorectal cancer by detecting and removing precancerous polyps. Non-invasive methods may be more convenient, but have limitations. The new blood test is not recommended as a first line screening tool.

Interesting recent case. Impacted stent cast resulting in biliary obstruction. Viewed w/ cholangioscopy and removed using Spy snare and large balloon sweep. Cast next to plastic stent for comparison. Anyone seen this? ⁦@DouglasAdlerMD⁩ ⁦@neilRsharmaMD⁩

✳️Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer related death among males aged 20-39 and 40-49 ‼️It was third among 20-39 age group last year. ✳️ Concerning trend is also seen in young women; CRC related death and will likely surpass breast cancer in near future @OncoAlert

Though the NordICC study leaves many questions unanswered, it does confirm that #colonoscopy reduces #colorectalcancer incidence. For those who were invited and had a colonoscopy, it reduced colon cancer-related deaths by 50%! Screening adherence is the key to cancer prevention.
Better title for this study might have been: “Colonoscopies prevent cancers and deaths only if people do them” Must recognize that study was more about “invitation for colonoscopy” than “effectiveness” nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… – at Culver City, CA

ACG today reacted with a Letter to the Editor of @CNN on misleading story re: NEJM NordICC #Colonoscopy trial CNN's coverage does a significant potential disservice to public health and fails to convey limitations of the analysis of the NordICC trial >> bit.ly/ACG-to-CNN
