Cancers in an aging population with severe motor and intellectual disabilities: a single-center retrospective cohort study

As individuals with SMID age, cancer has become a leading cause of death. The incidence rates of colorectal and breast cancers exceed those in the general population. It is justifiable to apply the same screening protocols to this population as in the general population, but strategies to enhance diagnostic specificity and reduce the invasiveness of confirmatory tests are desirable. Surgical treatment for colorectal cancer may improve the survival outcomes.
