    Better title for this study might have been: “Colonoscopies prevent cancers and deaths only if people do them” Must recognize that study was more about “invitation for colonoscopy” than “effectiveness”

    One week since we have lost our superhero. Still feels impossible My only sliver of solace is to educate about #coloncancer symptoms & #screening. I tried to capture all you need to know in this piece for @CNN Please share. #ChadwickBoseman @UCLAHealth cnn.com/2020/09/04/opi…
