Changes in cancer screening rates among screening eligible ages (by cancer type) within 8 PROSPR sites. Five PROSPR sites contributed to lung cancer data for low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT), 3 sites to colorectal cancer data, 1 to breast cancer data, and 1 to cervical cancer data. Two colorectal cancer sites provided data for both total colonoscopies performed and fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) completed. Variations in FIT-based screening also relate to site-specific variations in outreach during holiday periods (less outreach) and colon cancer awareness month. Lung cancer data include screening eligible ages, but do not include smoking history criteria.
