Core Tip Hispanics are becoming a sizable portion of the United States population and are one of the fastest growing demographic groups. Like other minorities, their adherence to screening colonoscopy is low. With changes in their diet and lifestyle, they seem to be presenting more colorectal lesions of neoplastic nature than their counterparts in their home countries. Increased attention and awareness within this population is needed to preempt an increase in colorectal cancer incidence.
