Colorectal cancer remains the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimates in the U.S. annually, there are 107,000 new cases of colon cancer and 46,000 new cases of rectal cancer.  This masterclass on colonoscopy will review trends of colorectal cancer risk patterns in various global regions, screening trends and advances in colonoscopy technologies. A review of accumulating evidence from studies of cancer registry data will highlight why we are observing increasing trends in young-onset colorectal cancer. Innovations in colonoscopy technology are progressing rapidly with increasing potential to revolutionize colonoscopy effectiveness.

Topics will include:

• Advances in bowel preparations
• Color imaging
• MRI colonography
• CT capsule
• Artificial intelligence
• And more!

Participants will be able to:

• Identify benchmarks for cecum rates, adenoma detection rates and other key quality colonoscopy indicators referenced
• Review up to date screening for and surveillance recommendations of colorectal cancer
• Interpret various cases, videos and images from colonoscopy procedures
• Review principles of managing common complications that can potentially occur in colonoscopy
• Compare and contrast the use of existing and newer endoscopic device technologies in colonoscopy

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
