New editorial by Jason A. Dominitz, M.D., M.H.S., and Douglas J. Robertson, M.D., M.P.H.: "Understanding the Results of a Randomized Trial of Screening Colonoscopy" nej.md/3fBVUi5

Surprised by landmark NEJM study results as #colonoscopy only reduced #coloncancer incidence by 18% with no significant mortality reduction at 10 yrs. But only 42% had procedure. For those who had colonoscopy, mortality reduced by 50%! #GITwitter nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

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.

The NordICC study of invitations for screening colonoscopy vs. no screening in NEJM has generated a lot of debate about the value of #colonoscopy. I hope this Q&A with CNN sheds some additional light on the topic. Screening saves lives! #GITwitter cnn.com/2022/10/10/hea…

More discussion about the landmark NordICC screening #colonoscopy study. For those who had colonoscopy, #coloncancer mortality was reduced by 50%! While less than we hoped, it is still impressive. Don't cancel your colonoscopy! #GITwitter today.com/health/need-co… via TODAY
