| Core Tip |
This 5-year retrospective cohort study evaluates the participation and impact of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines in a northern region of Canada. We evaluated CRC screening results of 6817 participants January, 2014 to March, 2019. We compared the stage and location of screen-detected CRC to clinically-detected CRC cases in 2014-2016. We observed no difference in screen-detected CRC vs clinically detected cases. During the 5-year observation period, we observed a higher incidence of advance neoplasia than anticipated, especially among patients presenting with signs and symptoms of cancer at the time of screening, who experienced long colonoscopy wait-times, and/or who identified as indigenous. |
