Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network

Modeling to guide public health research and priorities

Colorectal Cancer Modeling

The CISNET colorectal group is comprised of three grantees, three affiliate members, and a coordinating center grant. The models incorporate the ademoma-carcimoma sequence, as well as the potential multiplicity of polyps. The groups's interest focus on investigating the potential benefits and costs of different modalities and regimens of screening, as well as the impact of risk factor modification and treatment advances on population trends.
