Video Summary

In this video, Joe Vacari, Co-Chair of ASGE APP Task Force, discusses colorectal cancer screening and surveillance intervals. He emphasizes personalized screening for average-risk patients aged 45 to 75, with shared decision-making between patients and doctors for those aged 76 to 85. The preferred screening tests are colonoscopy and FIT tests, while MTSDNA is a Tier 2 test. Colonoscopy can diagnose and remove polyps in the same setting, preventing 60-90% of colorectal cancers. In terms of surveillance intervals after polypectomy, he outlines recommendations based on the number, size, and histology of lesions. He also promotes the upcoming ASGE APP Annual Advanced Practical Provider Course.
