BACKGROUND: There is a lack of data on training benchmarks to define competence in colorectal EMR (C-EMR) among advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs). Previous pilot data from our group demonstrated a relatively low proportion of AETs achieve competence on key cognitive and technical aspects of C-EMR…

Introduction: Recent data suggested that cold snare EMR (C-EMR) offers equal efficacy, yet superior safety, compared with traditional hot EMR (H-EMR). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the safety of C-EMR compared with H-EMR…

BACKGROUND: The Nordic-European Initiative on Colorectal Cancer (NordICC) Study highlighted the impact of adherence on the effectiveness of colonoscopy at reducing CRC incidence and mortality…

ADR is a colonoscopy quality metric based on the percentage of screening colonoscopies at which 1 or more adenomas are detected. Studies have shown that screening ADR is strongly inversely associated with patients’ risk of PCCRC incidence and death…

BACKGROUND: Surveillance colonoscopy is routinely recommended post-polypectomy, but it is unclear whether surveillance reduces future colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality risk…
