We’ve endorsed a new Canadian guideline for endoscopic management of nonvariceal, nonpeptic ulcer bleeding. Published in AGA-Gastro.bsky.social, this guideline provides specific recommendations for managing malignant tumors, Mallory-Weiss tears, Dieulafoy’s lesions, and GAVE.

Black patients are 40% more likely to die CRC than other groups. Why?

1️⃣ Delayed diagnoses (less access to screenings & symptom awareness).
2️⃣ Barriers to care (insurance gaps, distrust in healthcare systems).
3️⃣Underrepresentation in clinical trials & precision medicine.

The most important test for colorectal cancer is the test that gets done. 🙌 While being treated for a stomach infection, Rosa Miguel received an at-home colorectal cancer test at her local clinic as part of the #StandUpToCancer Colorectal Cancer Health Equity Dream Team’s efforts.
