Insights

This data analysis from LexisNexis Risk Solutions reveals significant market shifts in cancer screening trends that could impact healthcare service providers and medical technology companies. The 90% surge in colonoscopies for the 45-50 age group represents a substantial market expansion opportunity. The declining trend in at-home testing suggests a post-pandemic market correction, though the growth in specific demographics (30.5% increase in DNA-based tests for 40s age group) indicates emerging market segments.

The breast cancer screening data shows notable market expansion, with 12.5% and 10.3% increases in mammograms for 30s and 40s age groups respectively. These trends, combined with updated USPSTF guidelines, signal growing demand for screening services and related medical equipment. Healthcare providers and medical device manufacturers should expect increased utilization rates and potential capacity constraints.

Findings show which age groups are seeing the biggest increases

ATLANTA, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a leading provider of data and analytics, released new insights on breast and colon cancer screening and diagnosis trends from 2021 to 2023. As the U.S. Preventive Services Special Task Force (USPSTF) continues to examine and lower the age recommendations for breast cancer and colorectal cancer screenings, this analysis explores how these guidelines are impacting preventive care.

Even though the USPSTF didn't officially lower the age recommendation for breast cancer screenings from 50 to 40 until April 2024, mammograms among adults in their 40s have been trending up for the last three years. De-identified medical claims data from LexisNexis® MarketView™ show a 10.3% increase in mammograms for this age group from 2021 to 2023. Additionally, mammograms among people in their 30s saw an even bigger percent increase, with 12.5% more mammograms in 2023 than in 2021.

The data analysis also revealed an increase in breast cancer diagnoses with the largest increases being among people in their 30s and people over 70. Breast cancer diagnoses among people in their 30s increased by 4%, which is twice the percent increase in breast cancer diagnoses across all ages. Breast cancer diagnoses among people over 70 increased by 5.7%, representing more than 100,000 additional breast cancer diagnoses.

USPSTF lowered the recommend age for colon cancer screenings from 50 to 45 in May 2021, and the data shows this new age group is responding to the updated guidance. Colonoscopies among people between 45 and 50 years old increased 90% from 2021 to 2023. Comparatively, colonoscopies among all other age groups increased by 16%.

Additionally, the analysis examined the latest utilization trends of at-home, non-invasive colon cancer screening tests, including stool DNA-based tests and a fecal immunochemical test (FIT). Overall, these tests are trending down, indicating a potential pullback from high pandemic-driven utilization. However, utilization among people in their 40s is up 30.5% for DNA-based tests and 19.7% for FIT between 2021 and 2023.

"These insights demonstrate the importance of timely and consistent population health monitoring. Using up-to-date claims data empowers healthcare organizations to examine policy change, healthcare delivery trends, and more effectively design programs that improve engagement and participation in preventive care, such as cancer screenings," said Diana Zuskov, associate vice president of healthcare strategy and innovation at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "New innovations, such as non-invasive direct to consumer testing, show promise in improving the patient experience while also expanding reach and access to preventive care. Timely data on how patients are impacted by changing guidelines and healthcare innovation is critical to removing barriers to care and addressing health disparities among groups with limited access to care."
