Excellent and important work from 🌟expert @JenKolbMD - the COVID-19 pandemic 🚫 impact diagnosis upstaging in patients referred for the management of GI neoplasia @UCLAGIHep@UCLAHealth#DDW2023
We are so grateful to you @KimKardashian and your family for the ongoing support in honor of Robert G Kardashian. Through research, advocacy, and excellent clinical care we can improve early detection of esophageal cancer and save lives! @esrailian@UCLAGIHep@UCLAHealth
April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness month. In 2019, we joined forces with @esrailian and @UCLAHealth to honor our father & establish the Robert G. Kardashian Center for Esophageal Health at UCLA. Since then, the program & its incredible team have helped countless patients, saved lives, provided hope for the future. We are just getting started, the center continues to grow & we look forward to helping our community even more in the future!

🔥🗞️ @AmCollegeGastro funded study in @AmJGastro; PATIENT perspective:
🔹value esophageal cancer screening but rarely referred
🔹 poor knowledge on risk factors and screening recs
🔹Minorities: MOST worried about Barrett's/cancer but MOST barriers to EGD
https://t.co/gjz4qaiJtP
Adults with chronic GERD are at increased risk for Barrett's esophagus — the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma — but most don't undergo recommended screening, new research shows. #GITwitter https://t.co/nd6cbIOq13
🔸Knowledge gaps and barriers to Barrett's screening are mostly in the primary care setting
🔸Need more robust educational and advocacy efforts by GIs to partner with PCP colleagues
🔸Decision support algorithms with integrated reminder systems in the EHR may help
@AGA_Gastro
GI & PCP had similar attitudes #BarrettsEsophagus can ⬆️ esoph cancer early detection but PCP ⬇️likely to order screening endoscopy ⬇️ guideline knowledge & clinic ⏰constraints

@AhmadBazarbashi@ASGEendoscopy Join us NOW to learn about the exciting new field of EndoHepatology - an innovative and collaborative approach for managing patients with liver disease. Free to register!!! @ASGEendoscopy
.@JenKolbMD, Advanced Endoscopy Fellow at the @UCIrvine, and #FightCRC EAO working group member, published research showing the rates of advanced colorectal neoplasia in adults age 45-49 are similar to the rates observed in adults age 50-59. ⬇️ https://t.co/F4CYYTVJnp
Similar rates of advanced neoplasia in age 45-49 and 50-59 support expanding CRC screening ➡️ recently updated guidelines will hopefully have a meaningful impact on CRC risk reduction!!
🔥🔥 off the press by @JenKolbMD in @AGA_Gastro about what we can gain from expanding #CRCScreening to average risk individuals under age 50. **Spoiler alert** Advanced colorectal neoplasia rates in 45-49 similar to 50-54 year olds! Check it out: https://t.co/JiGEfdapur
