Description: In this large, contemporary cohort of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anus, the proportion of patients undergoing salvage surgery was considerably lower than previous reports. Younger age was associated with salvage surgery, and there was a suggestion of lower risk of salvage surgery with completion of chemoradiation. Patients requiring salvage surgery had poor 5-year overall survival. Diseases of the Colon & Rectum. 63(6):748-757, June 2020. https://journals.lww.com/

Description: Peer support can significantly improve the awareness about and the intention for receiving colorectal cancer screening in ethnic minorities and is an ideal choice for promoting the screening among ethnic minorities, particularly in a diverse community. Peer support intervention is recommended to promote the implementation of screening in Asian Americans. Peer counseling is worth promoting; however, church-based peer counseling programs require enhanced management to maintain their fidelity.
