Genomic testing and targeted use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may mitigate cancer recurrence risks. This study examines colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors' interest and receptivity to these strategies. Patients diagnosed with stage I-III CRC in 2004–2012 were recruited through the New Mexico Cancer Registry to complete a cancer survivorship experiences survey. We assessed interest in genomic testing, daily aspirin (ASA) and NSAID use, and receptivity to future daily ASA/NSAIDs. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models estimated factors associated with genomic testing interest. Receptivity to future ASA/NSAIDs use was estimated for non-users of ASA/NSAIDs. Among CRC survivors (n = 273), 83% endorsed interest in genomic testing, 25% were ASA users and 47% ASA/NSAIDs users. In our final model, genomic testing interest was associated with being uncoupled [OR = 4.11; 95% CI = 1.49–11.35], low income [OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.14–0.88], smoking history [OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.14–0.90], low [OR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.07–1.43] and moderate [OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.11–0.61] health literacy, and personal CRC risk worry [OR: 2.86, 95% CI: 1.63–5.02, p = 0.0002]. In our final model, ASA use was associated with age [OR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01–1.10] and cardiovascular disease history [OR: 2.42, 95% CI: 1.23–4.73, p = 0.010]. Among non-users ASA/NSAIDs, 83% reported receptivity to ASA/NSAIDs to reduce cancer risks, and no significant correlates were identified. The majority of survivors' expressed genomic testing interest and endorsed receptivity toward ASA/NSAIDs use for cancer risk management. Further research to optimize ASA/NSAIDs use guided by genomic testing is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
