Having hypertension was associated with higher likelihood of being current on colonoscopy screening guidelines among survivors; but diabetes and obesity were not associated with CRC screening. Low levels of CRC screening utilization were found among breast and prostate cancer survivors in a single center in Southern Maryland. Gender, comorbidities, and residential factors were associated with receipt of CRC screening.

It affects about 2500 new patients every year in the USA. Current effective treatments for advanced MCC include immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy helps a patient's immune system fight against cancer, but only half of MCC patients have long-term benefit. Chemotherapy works initially, but the cancer starts growing again after an average of 90 days. Moreover, chemotherapy can cause severe side-effects. Therefore, we need newer treatments for advanced MCC. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs), a therapy targeted to cancer cells that have somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) on their surface, works well in some cancers. In our study, we tested whether MCC cells have SSTRs on their surface, which would allow SSAs to bind, and whether SSAs fight well against MCC tumours. We first needed to know how often MCC tumours have SSTRs within the tumour cells because SSAs need to bind to SSTRs to work. We checked this by using somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (a special type of radiol
