The U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer (ACG, AGA, ASGE) has updated its recommendations for bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy, setting a new benchmark of 90% adequacy for both endoscopists and endoscopy units.
Since colonoscopy is the gold standard for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) and assessing other colonic diseases, ensuring high-quality bowel preparation is essential for improving polyp detection rates and reducing CRC mortality.
