Model finds small polyp surveillance safe, cost-effective
By Eric Barnes
A new model analysis concludes that surveillance of small (6- to 9-mm) colorectal polyps is both safe and cost-effective compared to immediate polypectomy, which suffers from relatively high costs, rare complications, and above all a low yield for colorectal cancer in lesions smaller than 10 mm in diameter.

ACRIN virtual colonoscopy training tied to performance
By Eric Barnes
In the first of several upcoming studies that will analyze the ACRIN 6664 trial data, researchers examined the role of training and testing in reader performance interpreting virtual colonoscopy studies. They found that training improved overall reader sensitivity in predictable, quantifiable ways -- and that novice readers could be trained to perform as well as more experienced colleagues.

VC finds perforations from incomplete colonoscopy
By Eric Barnes
New research suggests that occult colonic perforation after incomplete optical colonoscopy may be more common than previously thought. The study, which recommends low-dose CT scanning of incomplete colonoscopy patients before VC, could have workflow and patient-safety implications in facilities that routinely perform same-day VC.

Autopsy study confirms low prevalence of adenomas in youth
By Eric Barnes
A rare autopsy study of more than 3,500 individuals found that the incidence of colorectal adenomas is low in those under 50, but rises sharply in the sixth decade of life. The study, which provides important new information about the natural history of colorectal polyps and cancer in the young, supports current guidelines recommending that screening begin at age 50.
