Cancer risk algorithms in primary care: can they impact risk estimates and referral decisions?
CONCLUSION: Cancer risk algorithms have the potential to impact risk assessment and decision making and may have a role as learning tools. Informing clinicians about their proven usefulness to colleagues may maximise impact.PMID:37479280 | DOI:10.3399/bjgp23X733773

Exposure to weak opioids and risk of gastrointestinal tract cancers: A series of nested case-control studies
CONCLUSION: In this large population-based study, there was no consistent evidence of an association between weak opioids and oesophageal or colorectal cancer risk, but a small increased risk of gastric cancer. Further investigation is required to determine whether this association is causal or reflects residual confounding or confounding by indication.PMID:37117154 | DOI:10.1111/bcp.15759

Trends in the full blood count blood test and colorectal cancer detection: a longitudinal, case-control study of UK primary care patient data version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 not approved
CONCLUSIONS: Trends in FBC parameters are different between patients with and without colorectal cancer for up to four years prior to diagnosis. Such trends could help earlier identification.PMID:37056715 | PMC:PMC7614427 | DOI:10.3310/nihropenres.13266.2

The Colorectal cancer RISk Prediction (CRISP) trial: a randomised controlled trial of a decision support tool for risk-stratified colorectal cancer screening
CONCLUSION: A risk assessment and decision support tool increases risk-appropriate CRC screening in those due screening. The CRISP intervention could commence in people in their fifth decade to ensure people start CRC screening at the optimal age with the most cost-effective test.PMID:37012077 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2022.0480
