Summary: The study found a significant need for cancer early detection education in Alabama, especially among racial/ethnic minorities. There were notable disparities in education, employment, income, and cancer awareness among different demographic groups, while adherence to screening was generally low across all subgroups.

Summary: This paper reviews the history of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening recommendations by the United States Preventive Services Task Force and explores how the Task Force evaluates evidence to reach its conclusions. It highlights the evolution of their recommendations over the years and the factors influencing their decisions. The article emphasizes the importance of considering multiple factors and processes in evidence-based medicine recommendations.

Summary: The study found that some cancer fatalistic beliefs are associated with breast and colorectal cancer screening in north-central Florida, but not all. Additionally, there were no observed rural-non-rural disparities in the association between fatalistic beliefs and cancer screening utilization.

Summary: A survey of over 32,000 cancers in the GENIE registry found differences in distribution of KRAS(G12C) mutations in various cancer types and between men and women of different races. As agents capable of targeting specific mutant alleles like sotorasib become available, tumor mutation analysis is becoming increasingly important in treatment selection.

Summary: The study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on colorectal cancer care. During the COVID reopening period, there was a decrease in colonoscopies for colorectal cancer, with more surveillance procedures than screening procedures. Additionally, nonwhite patients and non-English speakers comprised a shrinking proportion during the COVID reopening period.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a one-day individualized training program on the diagnostic sensitivity of experienced radiologists in detecting 6-mm or larger lesions in CT colonography (CTC) scans, as well as the durability of the improvement and any associated factors. The results showed that the training intervention led to a significant improvement in sensitivity, and this improvement was maintained at 6 and 12 months after the intervention.

Summary: This study identified disparities in 5-year outcomes and imaging surveillance after elective endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) by sex, race, and ethnicity. Black females had the highest rates of aneurysm rupture, reintervention, and mortality, while white females had higher rates of rupture, mortality, and loss-to-imaging follow-up. Asian females had higher rupture rates, and black males had higher rates of reintervention and loss-to-imaging follow-up. These findings suggest that preoperative counseling and clinical outreach should be improved for these populations.

Summary: This study quantified and analyzed the risk of AAA hospitalization in different age, sex, and race groups in the United States using National Inpatient Sample and US Census data. The results showed a significantly lower rate of AAA hospitalization in females and racial minority groups, but aging and comorbid peripheral vascular disease decreased these differences. The findings highlight the importance of inclusivity in future AAA studies.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States, with an increasing number of patients diagnosed at advanced stages before the age of 50, requiring earlier screening. Water insufflation colonoscopies have shown promising results in reducing the need for sedation, decreasing discomfort, and increasing visibility of the colonic mucosa, potentially increasing the number of proficient endoscopists in training to serve the aging population.

Summary: The study analyzed colonoscopy volumes and lesion detection rates before and after the endorsement of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening at 45-49 years of age. It found that lowering the screening initiation age had a modest effect on colonoscopy volume without compromising screening yield, and the detection rates for lesions in the 45-49 age group were similar to those in older age groups. Further national monitoring is needed to fully assess the impact of this change in screening guidelines.

Summary: In 2018, an estimated 66.9% of U.S. adults aged 50-75 had colorectal cancer screening, with colonoscopy, FOBT/FIT, and FIT-DNA being the most commonly used screening types within recommended intervals. Despite some progress, colorectal cancer testing remains low in certain population subgroups, indicating efforts are needed to reach screening goals.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with the highest incidence in high-income countries. A well-designed endoscopic screening program can significantly reduce colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in endoscopy, specifically machine and deep learning, have the potential to automatically extract specific features from endoscopic images/videos, assisting endoscopists in various aspects of their practice. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on AI-aided endoscopy and its potential role in colorectal cancer prevention.
