    GA White Paper: Challenges and Gaps in Innovation for the Performance of Colonoscopy for Screening and Surveillance of Colorectal Cancer
    (Elsevier, 2022) Komanduri, Srinadh; Dominitz, Jason A.; Rabeneck, Linda; Kahi, Charles; Ladabaum, Uri; Imperiale, Thomas F.; Byrne, Michael F.; Lee, Jeffrey K.; Lieberman, David; Wang, Andrew Y.; Sultan, Shahnaz; Pohl, Heiko; Muthusamy, V. Raman; Medicine, School of Medicine
    In 2018 the American Gastroenterological Association’s (AGA) Center for GI Innovation and Technology (CGIT) convened a consensus conference, entitled, “Colorectal Cancer Screening and Surveillance: Role of Emerging Technology and Innovation to Improve Outcomes.” The conference participants, which included more than 60 experts in colorectal cancer (CRC), considered recent improvements in CRC screening rates and polyp detection, persistent barriers to colonoscopy uptake, and opportunities for performance improvement and innovation. This white paper originates from that conference. It aims to summarize current patient- and physician-centered gaps and challenges in colonoscopy, diagnostic and therapeutic challenges affecting colonoscopy uptake, and the potential use of emerging technologies and quality metrics to improve patient outcomes.

    Strategies for Colorectal Cancer Screening
    (Elsevier, 2019) Ladabaum, Uri; Dominitz, Jason A.; Kahi, Charles; Schoen, Robert E.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing worldwide. CRC has high mortality when detected at advanced stages, yet it is also highly preventable. Given the difficulties in implementing major lifestyle changes or widespread primary prevention strategies to decrease CRC risk, screening is the most powerful public health tool to reduce mortality. Screening methods are effective but have limitations. Furthermore, many screen-eligible persons remain unscreened. We discuss established and emerging screening methods, and potential strategies to address current limitations in CRC screening. A quantum step in CRC prevention might come with the development of new screening strategies, but great gains can be made by deploying the available CRC screening modalities in ways that optimize outcomes while making judicious use of resources.
