AGA Future Trends Committee report: Colorectal cancer: a qualitative review of emerging screening and diagnostic technologies.

Part 1. The AGA Future Trends Commitee–Charge and Process The AGA Future Trends Committee (FTC) was created in 2004 to further the AGA Strategic Plan by identifying and characterizing important trends in clinical practice and scientific-technological developments in the world in general, and medicine and gastroenterology in particular, that potentially will impact the AGA and/or its members in the coming 3‐5 years or beyond and to make strategic recommendations to the Governing Board on how AGA should deal with those trends and developments. These trends and developments may be economic, demographic, practice-based, scientific/technological, or political in nature.
