Interval Colorectal Cancers at Ochsner Medical Center: Where Do We Stand?

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that our institution has a low incidence of interval cancers, supporting the effectiveness of our cancer screening program. To further minimize interval colorectal cancers, we recommend the documentation and reporting of endoscopy quality measures, as well as close follow-up intervals or alternate examinations for patients who have poor bowel preparation or incomplete/difficult examinations.
