Recent innovations in colorectal cancer screening include advanced imaging, AI tools, and novel diagnostics to improve early detection and outcomes.
Key Details
- 1Colorectal cancer screening relies on fecal tests, endoscopy, and radiological methods such as CT colonography.
- 2CT colonography provides 3D images for non-invasive screening but has prep requirements and may miss small polyps.
- 3AI integration enhances polyp detection during colonoscopy and aids in automated histopathological and multi-omics analysis.
- 4Emerging technologies like single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics contribute to better tumor characterization.
- 5Lifestyle changes and adherence to screening guidelines remain central to prevention and early detection.
- 6Future directions emphasize precision medicine and global standardization of CRC screening.
