While acknowledging the study's insights, we identify critical limitations, including insufficient consideration of socioeconomic disparities in screening access and participation. Lower socioeconomic groups often face barriers such as financial constraints, time limitations, and healthcare mistrust, which may skew adherence outcomes. Additionally, the study overlooks post-screening psychological impacts (e.g., anxiety from false positives) on long-term compliance. We propose integrating socioeconomic analyses, psychological interventions, and technological innovations (e.g., AI-driven tools for personalized reminders and counseling) to enhance screening equity and adherence. Future research should prioritize these dimensions to optimize CRC screening strategies globally.</p>","PeriodicalId":11268,"journal":{"name":"Digestive and Liver Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143536807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
