Description
Summary:[...]in 2017, Rebecca Siegel of the American Cancer Society (ACS; GA, USA) provided an age-period-cohort analysis of the trends in CRC incidence, which demonstrated decreasing rates of CRC for those 50 years and older but, increasing incidence in younger ages. In 1993, the NPSdemonstrated that detection and removal of the adenoma, the precursor for CRC, led to reduction in CRC incidence. [...]CRC can be prevented. Furthermore, in 2012 the NPSalso demonstrated that removing adenomas led to reduction in CRC mortality. [...]the CRC’s prevented were those that had the potential to cause CRC deaths. In 2008, the US Preventive Services Task Force asked our CISNET models for a decision analysis of CRC screening strategies of age to begin, age to endand intervals between subsequent tests that provided the optimal balance between life years gained and burden.
