Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Joe Bakari discusses colorectal cancer screening and alternative screening modalities. He emphasizes the importance of early detection and prevention of colon cancer. He mentions that the incidence of colon cancer is rising in younger patients and highlights the need to start screening at age 45 instead of 50. Dr. Bakari explains the different screening tests available, including colonoscopy, fecal immunochemical test (FIT), and FIT fecal DNA (ColoGuard) test. He compares the sensitivity and specificity of these tests and advises that colonoscopy remains the gold standard as it can both diagnose and remove polyps. He also addresses some of the reasons why patients may delay or avoid colonoscopy. Dr. Bakari stresses the importance of educating patients about the benefits and safety of colonoscopy and recommends starting the conversation about colorectal cancer screening with all patients, particularly those at higher risk.
