Background: 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.

Effect of Gut Dysbiosis on Onset of GI Cancers.

Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota plays a significant role in GI cancer development by influencing immune function and disrupting metabolic functions. Dysbiosis can drive carcinogenesis through pathways like immune dysregulation and the release of carcinogenic metabolites, and altered metabolism, genetic instability, and pro-inflammatory signalling, contributing to GI cancer initiation and progression. infection and genotoxins released from dysbiosis, lifestyle and dietary habits are other factors that contribute to GI cancer development.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening relies primarily on colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical testing (FIT). Aligning utilization of these options with individual CRC risk may optimize benefit with lower risks, individual burden, and societal costs. We studied the effect of communicating personalized CRC risk and corresponding screening recommendations on risk-appropriate screening uptake in an organized screening setting.

Background: Whether colorectal cancer (CRC) screening with a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) reduces mortality remains unclear. In South Korea, CRC screening with a FIT for individuals aged ≥ 50 years has been part of the Korean National Cancer Screening Program (KNCSP) since 2004. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the KNCSP in reducing CRC-specific mortality.
