Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP
Guest: Christopher Cann, MD
Timely colorectal cancer screening can mean the difference between prevention, cure, and advanced disease. Even delays as short as a year are associated with significantly increased risks of advanced cancer and mortality. Given this risk, Dr. Peter Buch speaks with Dr. Christopher Cann about the varying sensitives of available screening modalities, key patient barriers to adherence, and practical strategies to improve screening uptake. Dr. Cann is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Hematology Oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, where he's also the Director of the Young Adult Cancer Program.
