Adenoma Detection Rate and the GiQuic Program

GIQuICYour Newport Beach gastroenterologist participates in an endoscopic quality improvement registry to promote more effective medical procedures.

According to the CDC, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women, and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. The sooner cancer can be detected the better a patient’s prognosis. Therefore, we recommend that anyone at an increased risk for colorectal cancer see their Newport Beach gastroenterologist to get an endoscopy.

Endoscopies, such as a colonoscopy, allow us to assess the digestive system and detect abnormal growths and tumors like adenomas, and it’s vitally important at our practice to ensure that we are offering the best quality health care we possibly can to our patients to provide fast and accurate diagnosis for the most effective treatment plans. That’s why our very own Newport Beach gastroenterologist, Dr. Glenn D. Madokoro, is participating in the GIQuIC registry.

About GIQuIC

As of 2012, about 100,000 colonoscopies have been submitted to the GI Quality Improvement Consortium (GIQuIC). So what does this mean? Through these endoscopy case submissions the GiQuIC is able to provide information to improve the quality of your next procedure. The GiQuIC measures several important factors including adenoma detection rate, prep assessment and cecal intubation rate, to name a few. This information gives gastroenterologists like Dr. Glenn Madokoro peace of mind knowing that they are providing the best treatment measures possible. This also ensures that we are detecting precancerous growths like adenomas before they become full-blown cancer, which means easier and more effective treatments for our patients.

If it’s time for you to schedule your endoscopy in Newport Beach, be sure to call Dr. Glenn Madokoro to book your upcoming procedure. Those over the age of 50 should have a colonoscopy every 10 years to check for adenomas and other cancerous growths. If you are at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer, tell your Newport Beach gastroenterologist and we’ll let you know how often you should be coming in.
