Rising use of surveillance colonoscopy and potential impacts

Doing so would potentially reduce harms due to complications from low-value procedures and in turn moderate demand and thereby enhance overall procedural access for patients more likely to benefit.PMID:35546586 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2022.89143
