Colorectal Cancer Screening: How Technology Can Increase Screening Rates
SPEAKER:
Josh Sclar, MD, MPH
Chief Medical Officer, BioIQ
It’s 2018, which means the moment of truth has arrived for the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable’s “80% by 2018” initiative for colorectal cancer screening. Needless to say, we’re not measuring up. And with the American Cancer Society lowering their recommendation of age that screening should start — from 50 to 45 — even more unscreened people may need this critical test. We discuss how technology, convenience and personalization can transform colorectal cancer screening rates and save more lives.
