Risk of post colonoscopy colorectal cancer according to physician adenoma detection rates

Abstract

Colonoscopies, which enable detection and removal of pre-cancerous polyps, are an effective method to reduce the incidence of and mortality associated with colorectal cancer. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is validated for measuring quality of colonoscopy. Here we summarize the @GIJournal discussion held on July 3, 2022, during which we discussed the article by Schottinger et al. titled Association of physician adenoma detection rates with postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer (JAMA 2022; 327:2114–2122)¹. The session was moderated by Dr. Mariam Naveed (MN [@MN_GIMD]) and the key findings were critically reviewed by Dr. Aasma Shaukat (AS [@AasmaShaukatMD]) and Dr. Rajesh N. Keswani (RK [@RKeswaniMD]).
