High-risk Patients for Colorectal Cancer Lack Knowledge About Colonoscopy
Many clinicians rely on self-reports from their high-risk patients about their need and proper interval for repeat surveillance colonoscopy. Researchers analyzed data over four years to explore the knowledge of these high-risk patients.
