Quality Colonoscopy Exam Remains Best Strategy for Detection of Polyps and Cancers According to Experts From the American College of Gastroenterology
Date:12/16/2008

patients from this study is the essential message of following the instructions on bowel cleansing -- the cleanest colon results in the best exam," added Dr. Quigley.

Following doctor's instructions when preparing for the exam is critical. Before a colonoscopy, the colon must be completely clean for the test results to be accurate. The ACG will soon publish a new guideline on colorectal cancer screening that will call for "split preps" -- a regimen for taking the laxatives in two doses that provides the cleanest colon at the time of the exam.

"The College sees significant strengths in the proven benefits of visualizing pre-cancerous growths and removing them in a single examination during colonoscopy," commented Dr. Quigley. "Because of its excellent sensitivity in detecting polyps and its potential for removing them and breaking the sequence of polyp to cancer in a single diagnostic and therapeutic intervention, colonoscopy is one of the most powerful preventive tools in clinical medicine."
