A national audit of 1724 post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers: understanding causes and consequences
This is the largest detailed PCCRC review to date. The majority of PCCRCs were avoidable and caused significant harm. This study clarifies the causes of diagnostic delays and highlights high-risk patients and areas of the colon, and suggests what needs to be done to reduce PCCRC in the future.
