How to learn from interval cancers in colorectal cancer screening

High quality performance is important to prevent colorectal cancers (CRCs) after colonoscopy. Therefore, we endoscopists are measured every day on our rates of cecal intubation, detection of polyps and adenomas, and patient satisfaction. That is great, and we support it. It helps us to understand our own performance in comparison to our peers, increases patient benefits, and reduces harms. After all, our endoscopies are there for the benefit of the people we treat: our patients.
