520 _aBACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend screening those with a family history of early-onset colorectal cancer at age 40 or 10 years before the age of their relative's diagnosis. Currently, there is no literature reporting the screening rate in these individuals and no protocols are in place to identify and target this population for screening awareness.
520 _aCONCLUSIONS: Most first-degree relatives of patients diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer do not undergo colorectal cancer screening. This could be attributed to the lack of protocols that could guarantee these individuals are informed of their elevated risk and the different options available for screening. Furthermore, our study suggests that racial and socioeconomic disparities exist among high-risk patients who should pursue screening. See Video Abstract. Copyright © The ASCRS 2024.
520 _aDESIGN: Retrospective and qualitative study involving a telephone survey where patients were asked about relative's screening status and barriers to screening.
520 _aLIMITATIONS: Retrospective design.
520 _aMAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Rate of screening in first-degree relatives of our patients with early-onset colorectal cancer. Other factors measured included demographics, clinicopathologic characteristics and screening barriers.
520 _aOBJECTIVE: Assess adherence to current screening guidelines among FDRs of patients with early-onset colorectal cancer.
520 _aPATIENTS: Individuals diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer who had undergone surgery at our institutions.
520 _aRESULTS: Thirty-six patients were identified. Survey response rate was 66.6% (n=24). A total of 88 first-degree relatives who met criteria for screening resulted, with 67.1% (n=59) having a known screening status. Of the 59 with known screening status, it was reported that only 44% (n=26) have undergone screening. Patients of African American race, stage III/IV disease, Medicare/Medicaid and living within Baltimore City County were more likely to have family members with unknown or no screening. Lack of insurance coverage was the most common barrier noted 12.5% (n=3); whereas 54.1% (n=13) reported no barriers to screening.
520 _aSETTINGS: Two community-based institutions between January 2018-December 2021.
