Re: New study questions the effectiveness of colonoscopies
Interesting reading. I think it’s inconclusive.
Had my first colonoscopy a month ago along with a chest x ray, 9 blood tests and an abdominal scan.

Re: New study questions the effectiveness of colonoscopies
I don’t see the point of random colonoscopies as I’d have thought the resource could be put to better use. However targeted screening of adults with symptoms of colorectal cancer is surely already a proven success.
