Short communication: Viral suppression is associated with increased likelihood of colorectal cancer screening among persons living with HIV/AIDS.
This retrospective longitudinal study evaluated patient characteristics associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in an HIV cohort. During a median follow-up time of 1.7 years, only 30 percent of patients underwent CRC screening. The majority of screened patients received endoscopic screening (colonoscopy, 86 percent; sigmoidoscopy, 8 percent); results were available for 68 of the 75 patients, and adenomatous polyps were found in 13 percent. No cases of CRC were reported.
