Not the greatest study. It includes in the Colonoscopy leg ALL those who said they would have colonoscopies whether they had them or not. And there were a large number of “yes” responders who decided to NOT get one. Plus the study has many years left to follow up on.
I agree. The study seems to be illogical. Almost all hmo insurance mandates this test and I cannot believe they would do so unless it clearly saved money thru prevention and early detection.
Another point is their claim it is the first study to determine effectiveness. The tests are at least 30 years old and this is the first study?
Call me a skeptic. This doesn’t pass the smell test.
I don’t want no tube up my butt, so I’ll pass and take my chances. Same thing I told my Doc and he nodded and didn’t try to talk me into it.
