How CRC Screenings Could Help Reduce Colonoscopy Backlog: A DDW Poster (GI Insights)

At Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2024, a study addressing the colonoscopy backlog and highlighting the need for increased colorectal cancer (CRC) screenings was presented. With 40% of the eligible U.S. population not up to date with their screenings, the research focused on how stool-based CRC screening options could help bridge this gap. To explore the study’s findings and their practical applications, Dr. Jennifer Caudle will speak with Dr. Mark Fendrick, a Professor at the University of Michigan, covering how these options can be incorporated into clinical practice to improve screening rates.
