The incidence of distant- and regional-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasing in individuals aged 46-49 years, a cross-sectional study of stage-stratified CRC found.
In the setting of conflicting national screening guidelines, the incidence of distant- and regional-stage colorectal adenocarcinoma has been increasing in individuals aged 46-49 years, a cross-sectional study of stage-stratified CRC found.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force has recommended that average-risk screening begin at 45 years of age, as do the American Gastroenterological Association and other GI societies, although the American College of Physicians last year published clinical guidance recommending 50 years as the age to start screening for CRC for patients with average risk.changes," Dr. Montminy said in an interview.
Distant adenocarcinoma IRs increased faster than other stages: annual percentage change , 2.2 . IRs in all ages and all stages combined over similar years. When distant IRs for CRC are included with regional IRs, those for IRs for CRC are double those for pancreatic cancer of all stages combined. "My best advice for clinicians is to provide the facts from the data to patients so they can make an informed health decision," Dr. Montminy said.
