Abstract
Although colonoscopy is currently considered an option for colon cancer screening, its choice as a preferred screening test is not supported by data, recommendations, or cost-effectiveness analysis. The use of colonoscopy in postpolypectomy surveillance constitutes a huge potential effort that should be appropriately anticipated and managed. Noninvasive methods for colon cancer screening may reduce the need for colonoscopy in the future.Entities:
