USPSTF urged to reconsider CTC recommendations
The CT Colonography (CTC) Coalition has called on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF) to reconsider its recommendation regarding virtual colorectal cancer screening, following the statement issued by the task force maintaining that further research is still required to make a conclusive recommendation regarding CTC.
“Data show that when CTC is offered in addition to other colorectal screening options, screening compliance rates dramatically increase,” said CTC Coalition member Andrew Spiegel, CEO of the Colon Cancer Alliance. “That is why we believe the USPSTF should endorse CTC.”
