African-Americans (AA) have the highest rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in the US. CRC in AA is more advanced and right-sided. Although screening has been shown to reduce mortality from CRC in the general US population, AA continue to experience a disproportionately higher CRC death compared to other ethnic groups. This study aimed at assessing the trend of CRC in AA, focusing on the changing pattern of in situ tumors in this ethnic group and how observed trends may guide current and future preventive and treatment strategies.
