CRC Screening Improvements Decrease Mortality, but Disparities Persist
Increased colorectal cancer screening rates are significantly associated with declining mortality, though racial and socioeconomic disparities persist.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates increased from 41.53% in 1999 to 76.30% in 2023, according to study results presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2025 conference.
Researchers analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and CDC WONDER databases, finding significant socioeconomic and racial disparities in CRC screening.
The study found a correlation between increased CRC screening rates and decreased mortality, with age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) tracked to assess temporal shifts.
Significant socioeconomic and racial disparities in CRC screening continue.
- Age-adjusted CRC screening rates increased from 41.53% in 1999 to 76.30% in 2023.
- Study results presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2025 conference.
Author's summary: CRC screening improvements decrease mortality.
