Second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. when men and women are combined. Approximately135,000 adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year. About 1 in 3 adults between 50 and 75 years old about 23 million people are not getting tested as recommended. Hispanics, American Indians or Alaska Natives, rural populations, men, those 50 to 64, and those with lower education and income are less likely to get tested
The National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable 80% by 2018 Initiative The ultimate goal of the Roundtable is to increase the use of proven colorectal cancer screening tests among the entire population for whom screening is appropriate. The Roundtable s 80% by 2018 strategic plan provides a practical blueprint for achieving our shared goal of regularly screening 80% of adults aged 50 and older for colorectal cancer by 2018. http://nccrt.org/about
http://nccrt.org/about/public -education/ Unscreened Rural Low SES Racial/Ethnic disparities If we can achieve 80% by 2018, 277,000 fewer people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 203,000 lives will be saved by 2030.
