Disparities Virtually Eliminated with 20 Years of Flexible Screening (IMAGE)
Caption
In 2019, the screening up-to-date status was 75.9% in Hispanic, 77.2% in Black, 81.8% in white, and 83.0%in Asian members (Figure panel A). Concordant with increased screening prevalence, CRC incidence rates in these four groups increased from 109.1 to 126.4 cases per 100,000 in 2002 (Figure panel B), peaked during 2008-2010, consistent with increased early detection of cancers, and then gradually declined, consistent with cancer prevention from polyp detection and removal to 66.3 cases per 100,000 in Asian, 78.3 in Hispanic, 78.4 in white, and 87.1 in Black members in 2019. CRC-related deaths declined between 2002 and 2019 (Figure panel C), from 27.1 to 15.3 deaths per 100,000 in Asian, 39.8 to 20.7 in white, 42.1 to 21.9 in Hispanic, and 52.2 to 23.5 in Black members.
