Importance: Several noninvasive tests for colorectal cancer screening are available, but their effectiveness in settings with low adherence to screening and follow-up colonoscopy is not well documented.
Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of and outcomes associated with noninvasive colorectal cancer screening strategies, including new blood-based tests, in a population with low adherence to screening and ongoing surveillance colonoscopy.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The validated microsimulation model used for the decision analytical modeling study projected screening outcomes from 2025 to 2124 for a simulated cohort of 10 million individuals aged 50 years in 2025 and representative of a predominantly Hispanic or Latino patient population served by a Federally Qualified Health Center in Southern California.

Background And Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health burden, and screening can greatly reduce CRC incidence and mortality. Previous studies investigated the economic effects of CRC screening. We performed a systematic review to provide the cost-effectiveness of CRC screening strategies across countries with different income levels.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) causes substantial morbidity and mortality internationally. In Hungary, the incidence and mortality of CRC are among the world's highest. Fortunately, CRC is a highly preventable disease, since there is a long asymptomatic phase before neoplastic transformation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Colorectal cancer (CRC) claims 900,000 lives per year. Colonoscopy offers reliable detection, but with low patient adherence rates. To significantly reduce CRC incidence and mortality, a more convenient screening measure for advanced precancerous lesions (APL) and CRC is urgently needed.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for pathogen detection methods that offer both low detection limits and rapid results. Despite advancements in simplifying and enhancing nucleic acid amplification techniques, immunochemical methods remain the preferred methods for mass testing. These methods eliminate the need for specialized laboratories and highly skilled personnel, making home testing feasible.
