This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) program, provides $625,452 to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The award aims to improve colorectal cancer screening decisions through consideration of patient life expectancy. The project will investigate how to guide clinicians on selecting appropriate colorectal cancer screening patients between ages 76-85, factoring in life expectancy, comorbidities, patient preferences, and screening history. This research seeks to address the lack of current recommendations for clinicians on this topic, as the benefits of colorectal cancer screening accrue over a 10-15 year period.
