What did gastroenterologists read on Medscape during 2011? We looked back to find out and compiled a list of the most popular articles for this year.
Gastroenterologists were interested in a range of topics, particularly new treatment options and updated screening guidelines that impact patient care. Making the list this year were the usual suspects of colorectal cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and the bacterial infections Helicobacter pylori and Clostridium difficile, along with a popular newcomer, eosinophilic esophagitis.
