- Abstract
The article reports on a study which describes the quality indicators for the diagnosis and treatment of colon disorders using colonoscopy. The researchers have determined the effectiveness of colonoscopy on colorectal cancer (CRC) screenings tests, postpolypectomy, and post-cancer resection surveillance. Findings suggest that colonoscopy is the preferred method to evaluate the colon in adult patients with large-bowel symptoms, iron deficiency anemia, and inflammatory bowel disease.
