Imperiale, Kahi published in
Annals of Internal Medicine
Congratulations to Division of Gastroenterology professors
Charles Kahi and
Thomas Imperiale. Their work, "Colonoscopy and Colorectal Cancer Mortality in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System: A Case–Control Study" was just published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
In this study using national VA–Medicare data, colonoscopy was associated with significant reductions in CRC mortality among veterans and was associated with greater benefit for left-sided cancer than right-sided cancer.
