Hold PPI for 2 weeks before H. pylori stool antigen testing? The data suggest you may not need to! What is your practice?🤔 bit.ly/4nkpwid

THE GREAT DEBATE: Blood-Based Testing: 🔹⬇️ in CRC incidence/mortality NOT as dramatic as for FIT & colonoscopy 🔹High sensitivity for any stage CRC, though notably lower for stage 1 CRC and low for advanced precancerous lesions 🔹Would take a VERY ⬆️ participation to be = FIT

I’ll be watching!!

Happening TODAY AT noon ET / 9 am PT ➡️Add to your calendar & get the link to join 👉https://evt.to/eugmesssw Open to all members of the #HereditaryGICancer care team - gastroenterologists, genetic counselors, oncologists, colorectal surgeons, APPs. Cases 👇

It is our responsibility as GI doctors to directly inform patients who are found to have advanced adenomas: ✅Future surveillance should occur at no > 5y intervals ✅Children? If so, should be screened starting at age 40! I always ☎️ patients to tell them verbally!🗣️ #GISky #Gastrosky

Day 1 of the Scrubs & Heels Annual Summit, catching up with friends and mentors! It’s going to be a great weekend ❤️ #GISky #GastroSky #WomeninMedicine

Role of FIT testing in Lynch syndrome? 🔹~70% of colonoscopies in Lynch do not reveal neoplasia 🔹Threshold of 4.1µg Hgb/g feces maximizes detection of CRC, adv adenomas (89% sensitivity, 99%NPV, 94% specificity) 🔹Consider FIT in Lynch pts at low risk for CRC to extend colo interval? 👇🏽 bit.ly/3EeQZjH

So grateful for the support of our leadership in facilitating my vision for our first annual Dress in Blue Day at UCI Health! 🔹Average risk screening begins at age 45 🔹Both structural and stool-based screening tests available 🔹The best test is the one that gets done! #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth
