🧠🎙️ New infographic from Dr RR Baliga's Podkast for the Kurious Doc: "Colonoscopy, Cancer & Competing Risks."

Two major 2026 studies from The Lancet and JAMA reshape how we think about colorectal cancer screening and surveillance.

🔹 The NordICC trial showed reduced colorectal cancer incidence with colonoscopy, but no significant mortality reduction after 13 years. 🔹 In adults ≥75 years with prior adenomas, non-colorectal cancer mortality far exceeded colorectal cancer risk, highlighting the importance of frailty and individualized decision-making.

Key lesson: the future of colon cancer screening is not "more colonoscopies," but smarter, patient-centered precision prevention. 🎯
