CN2 Measuring Public Preferences For Colorectal Cancer Screening Using New Genome-Based Nanotechnologies

Public stated preferences and predicted uptake for genome-based colorectal cancer screening

BACKGROUND Emerging developments in nanomedicine allow the development of genome-based technologies for non-invasive and individualised screening for diseases such as colorectal cancer. The main objective of this study was to measure user preferences for colorectal cancer screening using a nanopill. METHODS A discrete choice experiment was used to estimate the preferences for five competing d...

Public preferences for colorectal cancer screening tests: a review of conjoint analysis studies.

A wide range of screening technologies is available for colorectal cancer screening. There is demand to discover public preferences for these tests on the rationale that tailoring screening to preferences may improve uptake. This review describes a type of study (conjoint analysis) used to assess people's preferences for colorectal cancer screening tests and critically evaluates research qualit...

Colorectal cancer screening, ethics and evidence-based public policy.

Population based endoscopic screening for colorectal cancer

CASE FOR SCREENING There is no longer doubt that screening is an effective method of reducing colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates. The US Preventive Services Task Force recently reviewed the evidence and gave a grade A recommendation that all men and women over the age of 50 years should be screened for CRC. In the UK, the Department of Health has demonstrated its commitment t...

Patients’ Preferences for Primary Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Survey of the National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program in Korea

Background/Aims The adoption of colonoscopy as a primary colorectal cancer (CRC) screening technique has been argued for in Korea, without evidence of patient preferences. This study aimed to investigate patients' preferences for the primary CRC screening test for the National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP). Methods Between June and August 2016, 414 individuals aged ≥50 years who participate...
