Black patients and Gastroenterology
Black gastroenterologists: GI, liver, and pancreas care. Black adults die of colon cancer at 40 percent higher rates, and early specialist care saves lives.
Black Americans are 20 percent more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer and 40 percent more likely to die from it than white Americans (American Cancer Society, 2024). The American College of Gastroenterology recommends Black patients begin screening colonoscopy at age 45, earlier than the general guideline was for decades, because of that excess risk. Gastroenterologists also manage Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis C, fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MASLD), and unexplained GI symptoms.
A 2020 study in Gastroenterology found Black patients with IBD are more likely to present with complications such as strictures and fistulas, reflecting delayed diagnosis.
