According to recent research, only approximately 60 percent of people in the U.S. following established guidelines on colonoscopy screenings. Colonoscopy is the definitive test for detection of precancerous polyps and cancers. https://t.co/lKAdpksaxt

Regardless, instead of reading (or evening wasting time thinking about) the NEJM article, I’d encourage #people to discuss the following multi-society article (with their #primarycare/GI provider) to come up with a solid plan to help prevent colon cancer.

@MalikaGargMD @NEJM I wholeheartedly agree 😊 I encourage people to review this (with their #healthcare/#primarycare providers) to cone up with the best individualized plan to help prevent colon cancer. https://t.co/iL7VnFVLiQ

@GYamey @afromedwoman FIT & colonoscopy are both recommended as 1st-tier #ColonCancer screening tests. We use FIT at our med center, which comprises the 2nd largest municipal #healthcare system in the 🇺🇸 For people at average risk for CRC, either are b

People with a family history of CRC are recommended to undergo screening by colonoscopy every 5 years, beginning 10 years before the age at diagnosis of the youngest affected relative or age 40. Read more below! https://t.co/lKAdpkrCHV

@UrmimalaSarkar @crrogersPhD @ng_kimmie I've had this experience with some of my Black patients and sharing this article has helped. Hopefully will happen less if USPSTF draft recommendations are finalized. https://t.co/5CHBFhEyrM

@rob130285 @MightyCasey @RSiemieniuk @bmj_latest My mom died of CRC at age 81 in 2018, my dad had an advanced adenoma removed at age 70 in 2013 (which I didn't know until 2018). I prefer using the U.S. ACG or MSTF guidelines. My explicit preference is on

According to the recommendations of the MSTF (https://t.co/GRVkYBQXTT), I should have done my first CRC screening in 2013 at age 48 due to the findings in my dad (1 FDR with AA). 5/9 https://t.co/CULfrfGcpG

@andy_morgan1956 @DeborahAlsina How old are you? At what age was Mum diagnosed? In US⬇️, they also take advanced adenomas (AA) into account. But those who aren't scoped rarely know their AA. In my case, my dad didn't tell me he had AA until mom died. I jus

@DeborahAlsina @bowelcanceruk Those with a family history of bowel cancer should have access to screening at 40 or younger if needed (at least using FIT testing). The US guides are pretty good in this regard. https://t.co/FAaH3aZjsp

US: Per MSTF guide*, patients with 1 FDR (advanced adenoma or CRC) can have a colonoscopy at 40 (required, if FDR <60). UK: Flexsig at 55 (ignores proximal colon!) What a difference... *https://t.co/GRVkYBzn2l
