Overview
Colorectal cancer screening, as many areas of health care, would benefit by having a more knowledgeable public. Knowledge may lead to greater compliance, accuracy, safety, and cost reductions. It literally is a very important matter of life, health, wealth, and death. In the US there are over 140,000 new cases and more than 51,000 deaths every year. Colon polyps often precede colorectal cancer and with screening can frequently be removed preventing the cancer from ever developing. If cancer is discovered by screening the cure rate exceeds 90% when found early. Colorectal cancer screening is a $15 billion dollar a year industry where patient safety and care is often secondary to financial interests.While optical colonoscopy has value, its promotion as the 'gold standard' of colorectal cancer and polyp screening is in error. The significant limitations of optical colonoscopy, that frequently result in missed opportunities to prevent or cure cancer, are clearly addressed. Women require a different approach than men, and have been grossly underserved with the present approach to screening. This can be corrected with simple and effective non-invasive measures to enhance accuracy and safety. This alternative is underutilized because of financial considerations that promote optical colonoscopy. The scientific evidence based recommendations will result in billions of dollars of cost savings by avoiding unnecessary optical colonoscopies, and the tragedy of lost opportunities to prevent and cure cancer when optical colonoscopy is the only test relied on.The book takes a critical look at the glaring gaps in the present colorectal cancer and polyp screening programs that could be corrected with the ease of noninvasive screening tests, the avoidance of unnecessary optical colonoscopy, enhanced safety, and with significant cost savings. Potentially life saving, clearly written, accurate, and highly informative, this book may well be the best investment the reader ever made.
