The number of people who will die from breast or colore**al cancer in the U.S. is predicted to increase by 10,000 due to COVID-19. An overwhelming fear of becoming infected with the coronavirus in health care settings has drastically reduced the number of patients undergoing routine colonoscopy that can identify tumours at early stages.

“Cancers being missed now will still come to light eventually, but at a later stage and with worse prognoses” - Dr. Ned Sharpless, Director of the National Cancer Institute

We admire the work being done by many endoscopy centers to reopen safely and provide additional supports for their patients during this time.
