When new technology to prevent colon cancer is shown to be clearly superior to colonoscopy, then gastroenterologists will need to champion this.

You could use your education as a physician in another way. It is best to use the safest, most convenient, less expensive alternatives to the patient.

When we can get access so easily, it will prompt us to see what we have not regularly seen and observe changes that have likely occurred commonly but we were not aware of. The questions will become, hw often do we need to look and when we look, what are the thresholds for action?
