Screening and surveillance for the early detection of colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps

Nov 15, 2016, 18:31 PM
In the United States,colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women and the second leading cause of death from cancer.1 In 2008, it is estimated that 148,810 men and women will be diagnosed with CRC and 49,960 will die from this disease.1 Five-year survival is 90% if the disease is diagnosed while still localized (ie, confined to the wall of the bowel),but only 68% for regional disease (ie, disease with lymph node involvement), and only 10% if distant metastases are present.2 Recent trends in CRC incidence and mortality reveal declining rates,which have been attributed to reduced exposure to risk factors, screening’s effect on early detection and prevention through polypectomy, and improved treatment.3 However, in the near term, even greater incidence and mortality reductions could be achieved if a greater proportion of adults received regular screening. Although prospective randomized trials and observational studies have demonstrated mortality reductions associated with early detection of invasive disease, as well as removal of adenomatous polyps,4–7 a majority of US adults are not receiving regular ageand risk-appropriate screening or have never been screened at all.
