New findings from a Decision Analysis for the US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) suggest that routine colorectal cancer screenings can be stopped in patients over the age of 75. The results are based on patients who began screenings at age 50 and have had consistently negative screenings up to the age of 75. Lead author Ann Graham Zauber, PhD, Associate Attending Biostatistician in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and her colleagues' findings are published in the October 7, 2008 online edition of [i]Annals of Internal Medicine[/i] and will appear in a forthcoming issue. http://www.physorg.com/news142565004.html Medicine & Health Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:23:24 EST news142565004
