  "We don't know the quality of the colonoscopies, the skill of the examiners, the preparation of the patients, the completeness of the colonoscopies," warned Dr. Sidney Winawer of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
  
  Other studies have found doctors who rush through the procedure can miss polyps. It's also important for patients to follow the instructions for colon cleansing to the letter.
  
  And even if colonoscopies are less accurate than previously thought, they're still the best way to prevent colon cancer.
  
  "Colonoscopy can reduce mortality from colon cancer," Winawer said.
  
  Colon cancer screenings are recommended for most people starting at age 50.

  Sidney Winawer, an attending gastroenterologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, says you should opt for someone who does at least five a week. Yet another measure relates to the number of polyps removed during an average colonoscopy, he says: It should reflect what we know to be the prevalence of polyps in the population, which is about 25 percent for men and 15 percent for women. Of course, it may not be possible to ask about all these metrics when you call up for an appointment. In that case, "you have to rely on your primary-care physician" to guide you to a specialist, says Winawer. Ask for a recommendation.
