[Mass General MDs @MassGeneralMDs]

#MassGeneral physician @AndyChanMD was quoted in @NBCNews's coverage of a study, for which he co-authored an accompanying editorial, that found that patients with an average risk of colon cancer may only need a colonoscopy screening every 15 years. https://t.co/8QGwoJN5gQ

[Prof. Mahdi Fallah, MD, PhD @DrFallah1]

Our study published in JAMA Oncology showed that it may be safe for some to wait 15 years for repeat #colonoscopy:
