Adenoma or Appendix cases have a value in the covariate "ExcludeFromCACO". These results are part of the presentation in PMID: 26965516.Inclusion Criteria In general, for cases: (1) age >18 years (some studies capped age at 69, and others did not), (2) newly-diagnosed CC (stages I-III), (3) English or German or Spanish speaking dependent on study locale, and (4) mentally/physically able to consent and participate. Exclusion Criteria Pregnant women and prisoners are generally excluded. Each study has specific and detailed control selection criteria, but in general, controls were matched in demographic features to cases and were free of colorectal cancer at the time of selection. ]]>
