This episode’s guest is Andrea Dwyer, the Director of the Colorado Cancer Screening Program at the Colorado School of Public Health/University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The discussion focuses on colorectal cancer screening, its importance, methods, and challenges. We start by looking at common risks leading to medical liability lawsuits in colorectal cancer cases, including failure to work up symptoms, follow up on incidental findings, offer screening, and appreciate positive screening tests. Andrea explains various colorectal cancer screening modalities and highlights the importance of follow-up colonoscopies after positive stool-based tests. In addition, she talks about patient barriers to colorectal cancer screening and updated screening guidelines.
