1. Robert Smith:

   New data also show very clearly that a substantial fraction of adults are not willing to undergo colonoscopy and thus recommendations to get a colonoscopy in this group will go unheeded, the data also show that many of these adults will accept stool testing, and thus achieving high rates of colorectal cancer screening in the practice setting requires providing at least the option for colonoscopy or, ideally, a high sensitivity FIT.

2. Douglas Owens:

   The main thing is to get screened. It doesn’t matter if you use a stool test or you get a colonoscopy, pick one. Pick whichever one suits your preferences, but do it.

3. Caroline Johnson:

   Cancer doesn’t discriminate, it comes when it comes, a lot of younger people are getting this now. The colonoscopy is such a simple procedure. I know nobody likes to prepare for it, but it’s just 24 hours. And I would never want this to happen to someone else — it isn’t pretty.

4. Caroline Johnson:

   We knew it was going to be a very difficult battle, his doctor called it for all intents and purposes, ‘an angry mass’ — she knew it was a bad tumor after the colonoscopy; she thinks it was a polyp that went bad fast.

5. Samir Gupta:

   Our suspicion is that patients selecting colonoscopy often do so because they value its high sensitivity for polyps and cancer, and don’t mind the invasiveness and inconvenience, and that patients selecting stool blood tests often do so because the test is more convenient.
