This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorectal cancer remains a major health issue for many developed regions around the world. The good news is that early detection has significantly improved overall survival rates and continues to do so. A number of prevention strategies contribute to this positive trend, and today a patient who undergoes a colonoscopy for screening purposes stands a much better chance of being effectively surveyed for prevention of colorectal cancer. Patients can rely increasingly on the improved datasets and technical advances that are being made in screening approaches and skills. With continued progress, particularly in the partnership between clinicians and computer scientists, the future for colorectal cancer surveillance looks increasingly positive for the development of improved tools and methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers world-wide. It is also a paradigm for multimodal management, as the combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy is often necessary to achieve the optimal outcome. Recently, international experts met in Heidelberg, Germany to discuss the latest developments in the management of rectal cancer, including the anatomic and pathologic basis, staging tools, surgical concepts including fast-track surgery and laparoscopic resection, functional outcome after surgery and the role of radio- and chemotherapy. This monograph summarizes this meeting and gives an extensive overview of the current concepts in management of rectal cancer.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Population-based cancer survival rates offer an important benchmark for measuring a health care system's overall effectiveness in the fight against cancer. While this type of information on high-resource countries is readily available, Cancer Survival in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Central America presents in-depth cancer survival data from 27 population-based cancer registries in 14 low- and middle-resource countries. The striking inequalities in cancer survival between countries and within countries described in this volume are largely related to the differences in general awareness, availability of early detection practices, trained human resources, diagnosis and treatment and the development and accessibility to cancer services, as well as, to a lesser extent, to issues of data quality and reliability. The differences in cancer survival reported in populations observed between and within countries studied in this volume provide valuable insights for future planning and investment by governments in primary prevention activities, early detection initiatives and tertiary care to achieve meaningful cancer control. The calendar period of registration of incident cases for the present study ranges between 1990 and 2001. Data on 564 606 cases of 1-56 cancer sites from different registries are reported. Data from eleven registries were utilized for eliciting survival trend and seventeen registries for reporting survival by clinical extent of disease. Besides chapters on every registry and general chapters on methodology, database and overview, the availability of online comparative statistics on cancer survival data by participating registries or cancer site in the form of tables or graphs is an added feature.

Download or read book Black-white Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Incidence, Screening, and Outcomes written by Folasade Popoola May and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans are disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer (CRC) with higher incidence of disease, higher mortality from disease, and poorer disease survival. These disparities are likely the result of multiple factors, including a high prevalence of CRC risk factors, unfavorable tumor biology, and poor access to medical services among blacks. In addition, while national guidelines promote universal screening for CRC in all Americans, African Americans are less likely than white Americans to pursue screening. There is increasing emphasis in health services research to understand why CRC screening is underutilized in African Americans and to develop interventions that improve screening uptake in the racial subgroup. This dissertation consists of three distinct but related studies that explore black-white disparities in CRC incidence, screening, and outcomes in the United States. The first study evaluates trends in black-white disparities in CRC incidence and stage at diagnosis over the past four decades using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, & End Results (SEER) cancer registry database. Study two is a systematic review of the literature evaluating barriers to colonoscopic CRC screening in African Americans. Study three is a retrospective analysis to compare rates of colonoscopic screening in African Americans and non-African Americans and to identify patient-level, provider-level, and system-level factors associated with receipt and non-receipt of screening in a large Veteran Affairs Healthcare Network. The dissertation demonstrates that while disparities in both CRC incidence and late stage presentation have narrowed over the past four decades, an incidence gap persists. The findings highlight the success of CRC prevention and early detection tools that have come into use over the past three decades and emphasize a continued need for strategies to improve uptake of CRC screening in African Americans. In addition, the dissertation identifies several patient-, provider-, and system-level factors that hinder colonoscopic screening in blacks and contribute to the incidence disparity. While future efforts to address disparities in CRC incidence should focus on increasing the use of screening endoscopy among African Americans to reduce disease incidence, we must not rely on colonoscopic screening alone to decrease the overall burden of CRC on blacks. By determining programs, policy, and interventions to reduce lifestyle risk factors for CRC and optimize use of both preventive and early detection screening methods in varied clinical settings, we can further reduce black-white disparities in CRC incidence, screening, and outcomes.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the entire world. Among cancers that affect both men and women, it accounts for >8% of all cancer incidence, making it the third most common cancer worldwide (behind lung and breast cancer). There were an estimated 14.1 million cancer cases around the world in 2012-last data available; 7.4 million were in men and 6.7 million in women. Of that, nearly 1.4 million new cases were from colourectal cancer. And, it has consistently been shown that the developed world carries the majority of the burden (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States and parts of Western Europe), likely due to similarity in lifestyles and diets.
