Case Volume and Adenoma Rate During Screening Colonoscopy

NCT00860665 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 12134

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Screening colonoscopy has been established as the most effective means of colorectal cancer prevention. This is based on the fact that colonoscopy detects and removes colonic polyps (adenomas) which are known to progress to cancer if left untreated. The present study examines the question whether case volume (i.e., the number of colonoscopies performed per year) correlates with colonoscopy quality, i.e., adenoma detection rate.
