When you visit the doctor there is one important question you should really consider asking: What is your Adenoma Detection Rate?

Adenoma detection rate, or ADR, is a reportable rate of the endoscopist’s ability to find adenomas during endoscopic procedures. It can mean the difference between detecting an early sign of colon cancer and missing it. Finding a doctor with a high ADR means that they are effective in the detection and removal of pre-cancerous polyps. This can give you, the patient, added confidence to undergo the procedure and reduce your anxiety of potentially developing cancer.

Ultimately, the quality of colonoscopy will increase the colonoscopy value and lead to further decreases in the incidence and mortality of colon cancer. Make sure to find a gastroenterologist who can provide quality colonoscopy.
