Early cancer detection or prevention

Understanding Colorectal Cancer Screening Gaps Among Adults Aged 45-49.

Many unscreened adults are getting other cancer screenings, suggesting doctors and patients need better communication about colorectal cancer screening.

The abstract reports a majority of eligible but unscreened individuals accessed other age-appropriate cancer screening tests, directing focus to patient- and provider-specific factors as potential targets for intervention. This PubMed record was retained because it is relevant to early detection.
