- Title
Underestimating the benefits of screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer.
- Authors
Emile, Sameh Hany; Horesh, Nir
- Abstract
Dear Editor: A recent article by Bretthauer et al. [[1]] discussed the effect of colonoscopy screening on the risks of colorectal cancer and related death. This 5-year gap may be associated with some underestimation of the true benefits of screening colonoscopy in younger patients who usually present with more aggressive and advanced CRC [[4]] and for whom screening colonoscopy might be life-saving.
