It is the third PIAA study in which breast cancer claims were examined in detail, the first study being published in 1990.

Colorectal Cancer Claims Study

This study focused on paid cases of colorectal cancer claims for a 15 year time period (1991-2006). Topics consist of: physician specialties, stages of colorectal cancer, tests identifying colorectal cancer, symptoms, patient age ranges, indemnity payments for colorectal cancer claims and more. The publication includes a comparison of the 1991 PIAA Colorectal Cancer Claims Study to data from 2006 as well. Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and physicians and risk managers alike can learn from this data to hopefully prevent future adverse events.
