Analysis of over 3,100 patients revealed that 35.3% experienced delays in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Key predictors included older age, with those aged 80 and above having an 81% higher likelihood of delay, as well as being on Medicaid or uninsured, which increased the odds by 54%. Additionally, patients with rectal tumors were three times more likely to face treatment delays than those with right-sided tumors. Targeted interventions could mitigate these delays.
