AI Summary

A study from Karolinska Institutet, published in *Endoscopy*, found that colonoscopies performed by specially trained nurses in Sweden’s national bowel cancer screening program are at least as high quality as those performed by doctors. The research suggests nurses could help meet the growing demand for colonoscopies within the program. Sweden’s screening targets people aged 60 to 74, offering a follow‑up colonoscopy to those who test positive on a stool test. The findings support expanding nurse‑led colonoscopy services to improve access to colorectal cancer screening.
