Researchers investigated whether increasing colorectal cancer incidence among younger individuals is associated with an increase in disease occurrence or with increased detection as a result of more colonoscopies being performed over time.
Incremental diagnostic yield decreases substantially after 70 to 75 years; LS is rare after 80 years.
Researchers sought to identify the impact NP screening for colorectal cancer using mt-sDNA testing.
Annual nitrate-attributable cases of CRC, ovarian, thyroid, kidney, bladder cancer ranged from 2300 to 12,594.
Neither increases in prevalence of obesity nor heavy alcohol consumption correlated with CRC trends.
Despite overall decline or stabilization, increase seen for young adults in some high-income countries
To determine the effects on colorectal cancer screening response rates, researchers compared various forms of financial incentives with the same monetary value.
Evaluation of a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening outreach strategy by mailed invitation for either fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or colonoscopy revealed that more primary care patients chose FIT, according to a study published in Preventive Medicine. Researchers conducted post-hoc analyses of data collected from a trial of CRC screening outreach. Patients who were not up-to-date with CRC screening…
Nonadherence to protocol screenings in a screening trial for multiple cancers may be linked to higher overall mortality, excluding mortality due to cancers studied in the trial.
Risk for proximal cancers low among patients without broad-definition anemia and/or abdominal mass.
