Mashup Score: 21Balancing hope and reality: The promise and peril of blood-based colorectal cancer screening - 6 day(s) ago
A simple blood test to detect colorectal cancer sounds amazing. But unlike colonoscopy, a blood test can’t remove precancerous polyps.

Mashup Score: 2Rising incidence of advanced stage CRC in younger adults supports screening at age 45 - 1 month(s) ago
Incidence rates of distant and regional stage colorectal adenocarcinoma have increased over the past two decades among those aged 46 to 49 years and should be considered when counseling patients on screening initiation, research showed. “This study was performed in the backdrop of recent colorectal cancer screening guideline updates,” Eric M. Montminy, MD, of the division of

Mashup Score: 3Medicaid Expansion States See Long-Term Improvement in Colorectal Cancer Screening Uptake Among Low-Income Individuals - 1 month(s) ago
Medicaid expansion is a 2014 provision in the Affordable Care Act that allows each state in the United States to expand Medicaid eligibility to individuals with income above Medicaid eligibility limits and below the federal poverty level. Not all states participate, leaving many low-income individuals in non-expansion states without health insurance. Medicaid expansion states have experienced increases in preventive health care use,1 decreases in racial disparities,2 and decreases in advanced-stage colorectal cancer (CRC),3 suggesting that the provision has improved health outcomes on a large scale.

Despite continued declines, #CRC is rapidly shifting to diagnosis at a younger age, at a more advanced stage, & in the left colon/rectum. Increased access to high-quality screening & treatment among all populations, especially Native Americans, is vital. https://t.co/8YN2HlWQIc https://t.co/RZsF9YCaAP

Mashup Score: 10
Colorectal cancer (CRC) epidemiology is changing due to a birth cohort effect, first recognized by increasing incidence of early onset CRC (EOCRC, age <50 years). In this paper, we define “birth cohort CRC” as the observed phenomenon, among individuals born 1960 and later, of increasing CRC risk across successive birth cohorts, rising EOCRC incidence, increasing incidence among individuals aged 50 to 54 years, and flattening of prior decreasing incidence among individuals aged 55 to 74 years. We demonstrate birth cohort CRC is associated with unique features, including increasing rectal cancer (greater than colon) and distant (greater than local) stage CRC diagnosis, and increasing EOCRC across all racial/ethnic groups.

New 🩸-based screening tests to detect #CRC sound promising. But not so fast, @drfolamay says. The shift from prevention➡️early detection means more people will hear "you have cancer." Tests that prevent & detect CRC still need to be the gold standard. https://t.co/sfjTXZMA4J https://t.co/dkDEgqnjUA
