What is the most cost-effective strategy to screen for second primary colorectal cancers in male cancer survivors in Korea?

TL;DR: This study suggests that more strict and frequent recommendations for colonoscopy such as COL5 and COL3 could be considered as economically reasonable second primary CRC screening strategies for Korean male cancer survivors.

Prediction of Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Korea, 2023

TL;DR: Lee et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the projected cancer incidence and mortality for the year 2023 to estimate Korea’s current cancer burden, and used a joinpoint regression model to determine the year in which the linear trend changed significantly; they only used the data of the latest trend.
