As National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, March reminds us that while colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, it remains the third leading cause of cancer death. Colonoscopy is a way to detect colorectal cancer, but research has shown that not all colonoscopy technology is equally effective.Researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida report that high-definition colonoscopy is much more sensitive than standard colonoscopy in finding polyps that could result in cancer. This study was important because a large group of 2,430 people participated in the study, and it is the only study that has compared the two types of colonoscopy in a clinical practice setting.In colonoscopy, an endoscope is a lighted tube that is inserted into the colon and rectum to look for and remove polyps. A high-definition endoscope uses a high-definition video chip, and HD monitors (much like HD television). That increases the resolution of the image to make the procedure more effective.Researchers found that the rate of detection of polyps that are likely to become cancerous, or adenomas, was 29 percent among patients who were scanned with high-definition endoscopes.

As a Republican Senator, it is not a surprise that Judd Gregg is against the Obama administration's health insurance reform efforts. However, he has introduced a less-publicized concern into the debate.Like others in his party, he is worried about the bill's impact on the deficit and negative effects on the solvency of Medicare. Gregg also believes that the legislation will result in lower quality of care, but for different reasons than other opponents.One of Gregg's primary concerns with the bill is that it has the potential to stifle innovation. According to him, fewer medical devices and drugs will be developed. Less capital will be invested into the system, because there are fewer opportunities for burgeoning profit.While technological innovations in health care have helped extend our lifespan and are clearly important, not all changes are created equal. Some treatments and screenings have been proven extremely effective. Unfortunately, others have been shown to have relatively little impact on health outcomes--but a far larger impact on the bottom line.There is a difference between the invention of a breakthrough medication, such as penicillin, and minor tweaks in the...more
