The Eviction Call
A precancerous polyp discovers that his host scheduled a colonoscopy, and realizes eviction may be imminent.
A negative Cologuard Plus result does not rule out advanced precancer. Colonoscopy can find and remove precancerous polyps.
The evidence behind it
The full caption
Inside Dave’s colon, two men portray polyps in an office-like setting. A telephone call about Dave’s colonoscopy turns an ordinary workday into a possible eviction. The closing panel explains that a negative Cologuard Plus result does not rule out advanced precancer and that colonoscopy can find and remove precancerous polyps.
The Cologuard Plus figures in this film come from the published BLUE-C study and describe people with the respective finding in one screening round. They do not establish equivalent long-term prevention. BLUE-C was funded by Exact Sciences, the manufacturer, and included company-affiliated authors.
Colonoscopy can miss lesions and carries risks, including bleeding and perforation. Stool-based screening is a guideline-supported option, especially when it helps someone complete screening; a positive stool test requires follow-up colonoscopy. Discuss suitability and a screening plan you can complete with your clinician.
