Among these, 16.7, 19.4, 9.9 and 15.1% were stage III–IV, respectively (p = 0.34). The cancers detected more than 2.5 years after the last colonoscopy were not more advanced than those diagnosed earlier (p = 0.14). Conclusions: The CRC stage and interval since last colonoscopy were not correlated, which is in conflict with the accelerated adenoma-carcinoma paradigm. We have previously reported that more frequent colonoscopy is not associated with lower incidence of CRC in path_MMR carriers as was expected. In contrast, point estimates showed a higher incidence with shorter intervals between examinations, a situation that may parallel to over-diagnosis in breast cancer screening. Our findings raise the possibility that some CRCs in path_MMR carriers may spontaneously disappear: the host immune response may not only remove CRC precursor lesions in path_MMR carriers, but may remove infiltrating cancers as well. If confirmed, our suggested interpretation will have a bearing on surveillance policy for path_MMR carriers.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 14:12:41 AEDT ]]> Comparing theory and non-theory based implementation approaches to improving referral practices in cancer genetics: a cluster randomised trial protocol https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36129 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:30:50 AEDT ]]> DNA and RNA analyses in detection of genetic predisposition to cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21177 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:14:15 AEST ]]> Hereditary cancer in clinical practice transfers to BioMed Central (editorial) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7834 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:13:30 AEST ]]> Family history-taking practices and genetic confidence in primary and tertiary care providers for childhood cancer survivors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49579 Mon 22 May 2023 11:19:14 AEST ]]>
