Adults who have never been screened for colorectal cancer, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2012 and 2020
Richardson LC , King JB , Thomas CC , Richards TB , Dowling NF , ColemanKing S . Prev Chronic Dis 2022 19 E21 In 2018, colorectal cancer (CRC) was the second most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among cancers that affect both men and women (3). Screening for CRC can lead to fewer cases of cancer through the removal of polyps before they become cancer, the detection of cancers at their earliest stages, and the prevention of cancer deaths (4). | | Studies from the UK of screening by sigmoidoscopy and from the US of screening by colonoscopy showed that even 1-time or infrequent screening has long-term benefits (5,6). Another study showed that 83% of people who were not up to date with CRC screening had never been screened and outlined multiple barriers to getting tested (7). | | We measured the change in prevalence of adults who reported no CRC screening from 2012 to 2020. We also used data on the use of CRC screening tests in 2020 to update a previous report on up-to-date screening (8). |
