Dr. Katherine M. Hoda, senior fellow in the department of gastroenterology, was recently quoted in a U.S. News & World Report article discussing the role of sedation in colonoscopy outcomes.
Dr. Hoda's research study indicated that gastroenterologists found 25 percent more polyps in patients under deep sedation after controlling for age, gender and race. Doctors also found more large polyps, which are likelier to become cancerous than small ones.
