The NCCN Guidelines for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening describe various colorectal screening modalities as well recommended schedules patients at average or increased risk of developing sporadic CRC. They are intended to aid physicians with clinical decision-making regarding CRC without defined genetic syndromes. These Insights focus on select recent updates the Guidelines, including a section primary and secondary prevention, provide context panel’s recommendations age initiate in...
This document is an update to the 2014 recommendations for optimizing adequacy of bowel cleansing colonoscopy from US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer, which represents American College Gastroenterology, Gastroenterological Association, and Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. The developed consensus statements key clinical concepts addressing important aspects preparation colonoscopy. majority focus individuals at average risk inadequate preparation. However, quality are also...
Although screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) is recommended all adults aged 50 to 75 years in the United States, there are racial and ethnic disparities who receives screening. Individuals lacking appropriate CRC cite various reasons nonadherence, including lack of provider recommendation The purpose this study evaluate association between patient race as primary reason nonadherence.We conducted a cross-sectional observational individuals from 2009 California Health Interview Survey...
The optimal time interval for diagnostic colonoscopy completion after an abnormal stool-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test is uncertain. We examined the association between to and CRC outcomes among individuals who underwent screening.
Liver cancer is one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in United States, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) its common form. Disease burden risk factors differ by sex race/ethnicity, but a comprehensive analysis disparities socioeconomic status (SES) lacking. We examined relative impact sex, SES on HCC incidence, stage, survival.We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) 18 data to identify histologically confirmed cases diagnosed between January 1, 2000 December 31, 2015....
Young individuals racialized as Black are more likely to die after a colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis than White in the United States. This study examined racial disparities receipt of timely and guideline-concordant care among with early-onset CRC.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections are a global health burden. NG resistance to cephalosporins, which is increasingly reported, an imminent threat public health. Many hypothesize that commensal species important reservoir for genetic material conferring antimicrobial in NG; however, clinical data lacking.
Abstract Introduction Esophageal cancer (EC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Mortality and disease stage at diagnosis are important indicators of improvements in prevention control. We examined United States trends esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) mortality by race ethnicity. Methods used Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) data to identify individuals histologically confirmed EAC ESCC between 1 January 1992 31 December 2016. For both...
Importance The Colonoscopy Versus Fecal Immunochemical Test in Reducing Mortality From Colorectal Cancer (CONFIRM) randomized clinical trial sought to recruit 50 000 adults into a study comparing colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality outcomes after randomization either an annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or colonoscopy. Objective To (1) describe participant characteristics and (2) examine who declined participation because of preference for colonoscopy stool testing (ie, occult blood...
