| Core Tip |
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening reduces CRC deaths, yet several patients remain unscreened. To encourage more individuals to participate in screening, identifying subgroups at high risk is crucial. This study used cancer registries from two Japanese facilities to clarify the stage at diagnosis in three groups: cancer screening, follow-up (patients detected during follow-up for other comorbidities), and symptomatic. The proportion of early-stage diagnoses was higher in the follow-up group than in the symptomatic group and was comparable to that in the cancer screening group. Therefore, CRC screening should be recommended, particularly for patients without periodical hospital visits for comorbidities. |
