Delay of diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer--a population-based Danish study

Cancer Detection and Prevention
Marianne KorsgaardSøren Laurberg

Abstract

Recently, the authors have shown a doubled risk of having an advanced rectal cancer (RC) (Dukes' stage C or D) at the time of treatment, if the interval between onset of symptoms and start of treatment (treatment delay) was >60 days [Korsgaard M, Pedersen L, Sorensen HT, Laurberg S. Treatment delay is associated with advanced stage of rectal cancer but not of colon cancer. Cancer Detect Prev 2006;30(4):341-6]. The authors examined the treatment delay for colorectal cancer (CRC), as influenced by the patients, the general practitioners (G.P.), and the hospitals. Population-based prospective observational study based on 743 Danish CRC-patients. Treatment delay was determined through questionnaire interviews. We examined the patient delay, the G.P. delay, and the hospital delay, and thereby the frequency of patients for whom the Danish fast-track recommendations of a maximum of 14 days to diagnose CRC, and 14 days from the diagnosis to start the of treatment, were met. Colon cancer (CC) and RC-patients were analyzed separately. Patient delay, in particular, was long, and longest for RC-patients (median 44 days vs.18 days). Median G.P. delay was short, but 25% of the CC-patients had a G.P. delay of 59 days or more, and 25% of the R...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
