@Brewington_UTSW @GYRIG A6. Sid Winawer - an early champion of routine CRC screening was known to say that the best screening is the one that gets done! That is how CRC Cancer can be prevented. #crccareforall

@BroosBruce @GYRIG I agree great question. I've had several family members that have said colorectal screening has not come up when talking with their doctor. My father is a veteran. He was only offered stool testing !#CRCCareforAll

A3 Certain populations are at greater risk, and have higher dx/mortality rates. Health disparity impacts minority communities where cultural/language barriers and access to/cost of care keep screening rates down. #CRCCareForAll twitter.com/RadiologyACR/s…

@Brewington_UTSW @GYRIG One concern - people with chronic conditions may see specialists frequently but not see PCP. May not get referred because CRC is not on the specialist’s or the patient’s radar. #crccareforall

@Brewington_UTSW @GYRIG we’ve encountered some patients with common conditions requiring specialty care for diabetes, heart disease etc. - focus on that in lieu of primary care - may not be referred by nonPCPs

@GYRIG I wanted to ask anyone who is eligible. Are you or your loved ones receiving the info you need from providers to encourage screening? #crccareforall
