Screening guidelines recommend that first-time screening should occur at 50 years of age for average-risk individuals and at 40 years of age for those with a family history of CRC.<\/jats:p><jats:p>OBJECTIVE: To examine whether persons with a positive CRC family history were achieving screening at 40 years of age and whether average-risk persons were achieving screening at 50 years of age.<\/jats:p><jats:p>METHODS: The present study was a cross-sectional analysis of subjects who entered a colon cancer screening program and were undergoing CRC screening for the first time.<\/jats:p><jats:p>RESULTS: A total of 778 individuals were enrolled in the present study: 340 (174 males) with no family history of CRC, and 438 (189 males) with a positive family history of CRC. For the group with a positive family history, the mean (\u00b1 SD) age for primary screening was 54.4\u00b18.5 years, compared with 58.2\u00b16.4 years for the group with no family history. On average, those with a positive family history initiated screening 3.8 years (95% CI 2.8 to 4.8; P&lt;0.05) earlier than those without. Adenoma polyp detection rate for the positive family history group was 20.8% (n=91) compared with 23.5 % (n=80) for the group with no family history.<\/jats:p><jats:p>CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with a positive CRC family history are initiating screening approximately four years earlier than those without a family history; nevertheless, both groups are undergoing screening well past current guideline recommendations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/937184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,15]],"date-time":"2016-03-15T08:08:13Z","timestamp":1458029293000},"page":"419-423","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Patients Undergoing Colorectal Cancer Screening Underestimate Their Cancer Risk and Delay Presentation for Screening"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Haili","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Gies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clarence","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Sadowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Moysey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard N","family":"Fedorak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","container-title":["Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cjgh\/2012\/937184.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cjgh\/2012\/937184.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,23]],"date-time":"2016-08-23T15:47:03Z","timestamp":1471967223000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cjgh\/2012\/937184\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}},"alternative-id":["937184"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2012\/937184","relation":{},"ISSN":["0835-7900"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0835-7900","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
