Individuals & organizations from 13 Southeast states & Puerto Rico who are working on #colorectalcancer issues, including ⬆️ screening rates. #crcsm#GITwitter
Majority of screening colonoscopies in age >75 done on folks with <10 years life expectancy.
Only n=15/7067 (0.2%) found to have invasive cancer, and of these most chose NO treatment (then why screen?)
Complication rates req hosp at 10 days high (14/1000).

“The one thing I wish more people understood is that most colorectal cancers cause no symptoms—none at all—in the early stages, when it’s easily treatable,” says @drfolamay. “So the only way you would know if you have it is through a routine screening.”

A federal court ruling issued today that ends zero cost-sharing coverage of services like cancer screenings could mean providers see patients with later-stage diagnosis and poorer outcomes. #ACA#ASCOAdvocacy
