| Fri, 2 Dec 2005 12:00:00 EST The virtual colonoscopy gets better |
| Say you're told your chances of dying in a car crash are 1 in 16, but you can cut the odds way down if once every five years, starting at age 50, you spend a few hours having an expert check out your reflexes. Would you do it? Now substitute "colorectal cancer," which kills nearly 60,000 Americans a year, for "car crash" and "lower intestine" for "reflexes." The toll would be far lower if more people had a periodic colonoscopy, which allows a physician to examine the lining of the bowel after inserting a thin fiber optic tube. But relatively few do. The very idea tends to produce a visceral reaction. |
