Anaemia, ethnicity, and cancer incidence: a retrospective cohort study in primary care

|
By Liz Down, Melissa Barlow, Luke Mounce
| BJGP (British Journal of General Practice) Verified
Low MCV was a much stronger indicator of cancer risk for White patients than the other groups. Low haemoglobin was found to be a stronger indicator of all-site cancer risk for White patients than for Black patients, while IDA was a weaker indicator of all-site cancer risk for Asian patients than those in other groups. There were differences in the proportion of patients with an abnormal test result by ethnicity, which was most stark for MCV.

Abstract The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is rising rapidly, with diagnoses typically occurring at a more advanced stage than late-onset CRC. In the absence of screening for younger patients, diagnosis relies on symptomatic presentation. The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) is a diagnostic triage tool for patients presenting with clinical features of CRC in primary care, though its performance in individuals under 50 years is not well established.
