So my summary points are that for you to remember is

0:05

that there has been a significant increase in early age

0:08

onset, uh, colorectal cancers.

0:10

Um, and this has, uh, led

0:12

to the American Cancer Society decreasing the recommended

0:15

start time, uh, for screening to age 45.

0:20

Um, I think that we have to be aware of this third pathway,

0:24

uh, to development of colorectal cancer, cancer,

0:27

the serrated, uh, polyps, um, remember

0:30

to use positive oral contrast.

0:32

This majority

0:33

of serrated polyps will have this contrast coat,

0:35

and this will highlight them for you

0:37

to be able to find them more easily.

0:40

And finally, you know, we're, we're in such a strange, um,

0:45

challenging time right now.

0:46

Um, and many, uh, patients have put off, uh,

0:49

screening tests, including colon cancer screening.

0:52

I think that, um, this is a mistake

0:55

and, uh, we'll, um, likely find many patients,

0:59

more patients with, uh, late stage disease.

1:02

Um, and so, um, CTC can be used now

1:06

as a safe compliment to colonoscopy

1:08

where colonoscopy is not easily available.

1:11

Um, we can use CTC during the pandemic and,

1:14

and it really does offer, um, many advantages as I have.

1:20

Thank you.
