Acute Appendicitis as a Harbinger of Colorectal Neoplasms in Patients Aged 40 or Older: A Scoping Review

Many retrospective studies suggest an increased risk of colorectal neoplasms in AA patients aged 40 years or older. However, current evidence does not support solid recommendations for standard follow-up. This scoping review highlighted a gap in the literature, and a prospective study framework has been outlined to improve evidence quality on this topic.

Abstract

Many retrospective studies suggest an increased risk of colorectal neoplasms in AA patients aged 40 years or older. However, current evidence does not support solid recommendations for standard follow-up. This scoping review highlighted a gap in the literature, and a prospective study framework has been outlined to improve evidence quality on this topic.
