PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is not routinely performed in Egypt, and more than one third of CRC cases occur individuals age 40 younger, with overall survival estimated at only 2 years, presumably because late diagnoses. To lay the foundation for development a multilevel program Egypt to promote prevention early detection, this qualitative study aimed explore potential barriers facilitators from perspectives physicians residents Alexandria.

Colorectal cancer screening identifies pre-cancerous lesions and polyps earlier, affording more treatment options higher survivability. Screening is especially important in Egypt, where there are no national colorectal guidelines; physicians typically order colonoscopy only after patients symptomatic, younger-age CRC rates (ages 30–49 years) higher. We designed implemented a pilot training program for intervention wherein we recruited trained medical students as ‘Health Champions’ to provide...
Abstract Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates continue to climb in Egypt other low- middle-income countries, where few screening intervention programs exist. In Egypt, CRC is not a routine part of preventive care most diagnoses happen with advanced disease poor prognosis. This pilot study aims develop, implement, examine the feasibility culturally relevant promote among healthy adults Alexandria, Egypt. Methods: was conducted two clinics December 2019-March 2020....

Given these rates, focusing on tertiary prevention strategies, such as physical activity, warranted. Our study purpose was assess activity behavior survivors living Egypt.
