Overview
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second deadliest form of cancer, behind only lung cancer. In 2022, about 151,000 adults will be diagnosed with CRC, and about 52,600 people will die from CRC. Early detection of CRC is critical to reducing cancer-related mortality. Because of the increasing incidence and mortality of CRC in young adults, major US medical societies have recently moved to recommend earlier CRC screening in average-risk adults, starting at 45 years of age. Provider education and training efforts are needed to encourage the various colorectal cancer screening options and adopting a shared decision-making approach during discussions about colorectal cancer screening.
Objectives
- Evaluate recent changes in CRC screening guidelines and their potential impact on early cancer detection and patient outcomes.
- Explain the rationale for guideline recommendations to include patients in the CRC screening decision-making process.
- Individualize discussion of CRC screening options according to patient goals.
