Cecal adenocarcinoma Colorectal carcinoma is the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) in the United States. Incidence rates have remained relatively stable over the past 30 years while the mortality rate has decreased, particularly in women. Most colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps, which are common in middle-aged and elderly patients. Screening and autopsy studies describe an incidence of more than 30%, although less than 1% of these polyps become malignant....

Research shows that racial disparities exist in the delivery of guideline-adherent cancer care, and that non-White patients are less likely to receive guideline-concordant care than White patients, leading to worse health outcomes. However, these disparities are not often addressed. The Elevating Cancer Equity initiative aims to address these disparities through policy-change recommendations developed by a working group and informed by data from patients/caregivers and oncologists. The hope is that the results of these surveys and the resultant recommendations will be a step toward cancer care equity in the United States.
