  • Is colorectal cancer screening necessary in the preoperative assessment of inguinal herniorrhaphy? A case-control study.

    Gerson LB, Triadafilopoulos G. Am J Gastroenterol. 2001; 96 (6): 1914-7

    The question of whether patients presenting for inguinal hernia repair require pre-operative assessment for colon cancer has remained unanswered. A case-control study is necessary to assess whether the prevalence of premalignant or malignant colonic lesions is higher in patients presenting with inguinal hernia compared to the general population.
