e13045 Background: Cancer is the leading cause of death in Korea. Individuals with a family history of cancer might overestimate their personal risk for getting cancer and report high cancer-related worry or concern. Those factors could positively or negatively influence on cancer screening behavior. Although Korea has a universal screening program for common cancers, some people still choose opportunistic screening program with out-of-pocket costs. This study was to identify association between fears of getting cancer and participation on opportunistic anc organized screening programs for cancer. Methods: The study population was derived from the Korean National Cancer Screening Survey 2013, which is annual survey conducted by National Cancer Center of Korea in order to investigate trends of participation rates among general population in cancer screening. 3,004 individuals aged over 40 years were finally selected as study subjects. Chi-square tests and multinomial logistic regression model were used to identify factors associated with being screened for gastric cancer. Results: A total of 2,078 of the subjects (69.2%) underwent gastric cancer screening, of which 311 individuals (10.4%) participated in opportunistic and 1,767 individuals (58.8%) participated in organized screening programs. After adjusting socio-demographic factors and health behaviors, worry and concern about cancer were identified as factors positively associated with being screened for gastric cancer. ORs for undergoing gastric cancer screening were elevated for both screening programs according to the level of worry and concern about cancer (p for trend < 0.05). We did not found relationship between family history of gastric cancer and participation. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that fears of getting cancer such as worry and concerned about cancer had a stronger influence on participation in not only organized screening program but also opportunistic screening program. We could identify that ORs for undergoing the opportunistic screening were slightly higher than those for undergoing the organized screening in terms of cancer worry and cancer concern.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most frequent neoplasm in Chile and its mortality rate is rising in all ages. However, studies characterizing CRC according to the age of onset are still lacking. This study aimed to identify clinical, pathological, and molecular features of CRC in Chilean patients according to the age of diagnosis: early- (≤50 years; EOCRC), intermediate- (51–69 years; IOCRC), and late-onset (≥70 years; LOCRC). The study included 426 CRC patients from Clinica Las Condes, between 2007 and 2019. A chi-square test was applied to explore associations between age of onset and clinicopathological characteristics. Body Mass Index (BMI) differences according to age of diagnosis was evaluated through t-test. Overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method. We found significant differences between the age of onset, and gender, BMI, family history of cancer, TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors stage, OS, and CSS. EOCRC category was characterized by a family history of cancer, left-sided tumors with a more advanced stage of the disease but better survival at 10 years, and lower microsatellite instability (MSI), with predominant germline mutations. IOCRC has shown clinical similarities with the EOCRC and molecular similarities to the LOCRC, which agrees with other reports.
