Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States, and projections suggest approximately 108,860 new cases of colon cancer and 49,990 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed in 2026.1,2 The quality of bowel preparation is crucial for high performance during colonoscopy. Inadequate preparation can affect the adenoma detection rate and result in repeat colonoscopic evaluations, unnecessary costs, and suboptimal patient experiences, which can lead to future noncompliance with colon cancer screening.
