Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic reduced colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, but the rebound in testing and outcomes following the pandemic has not been widely reported. We evaluated CRC test utilization and colorectal neoplasia detection among screening eligible patients in a large health system in 2020 and 2021, compared to 2019 (pre-pandemic).
