AbstractColorectal cancer is uncommon in Royal Naval personnel; an average of two cases are diagnosed annually, often with disease advanced at presentation. During the next five years, IO serving individuals arelikely to present with colorectal cancer and many, ifnot all of these, already harbour premalignantadenomas or asymptomatic colonic malignancy.Currently over 2,000 servicemen are estimated tocarry undiagnosed colorectal adenomas..Requests for hospital appointments for those reporting a family history of colorectal cancer and who request screening are increasing in frequency. An understanding of the personal implications of a familyhistory of colorectal cancer and a basis for the management of these individuals will be provided.This paper considers ways in which the impact of colorectal cancer on the Royal Navy and its pensioners could be altered. Evidence derived from population based and family hi story based colorectal cancer screening studies are organised into a protocol by which the Royal Navy might be examined. The effect of a family history of colorectal cancer on disease incidence and the percentage of positives resulting from faecal occult blood testing are applied to the ageprofile of the Royal Navy. These show that amaximum of 56 flexible sigmoidoscopies and 90colonoscopies would be needed in the first year of aprogramme to attempt the early detection of neoplasia.This paper is aimed at gaining feedback from primary and secondary care practitioners so that the possibility of introducing a programme for the early detection of colorectal cancer in the Royal Navy canbe considered.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most frequent neoplasm in Chile and its mortality rate is rising in all ages. However, studies characterizing CRC according to the age of onset are still lacking. This study aimed to identify clinical, pathological, and molecular features of CRC in Chilean patients according to the age of diagnosis: early- (≤50 years; EOCRC), intermediate- (51–69 years; IOCRC), and late-onset (≥70 years; LOCRC). The study included 426 CRC patients from Clinica Las Condes, between 2007 and 2019. A chi-square test was applied to explore associations between age of onset and clinicopathological characteristics. Body Mass Index (BMI) differences according to age of diagnosis was evaluated through t-test. Overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method. We found significant differences between the age of onset, and gender, BMI, family history of cancer, TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors stage, OS, and CSS. EOCRC category was characterized by a family history of cancer, left-sided tumors with a more advanced stage of the disease but better survival at 10 years, and lower microsatellite instability (MSI), with predominant germline mutations. IOCRC has shown clinical similarities with the EOCRC and molecular similarities to the LOCRC, which agrees with other reports.
