Modeling

  • General Information

    Models are an imperfect yet important tool to help quantify and articulate the value of a healthcare intervention when research is not feasible to produce desired data.1 Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) models, primarily CRC-SPIN, are used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening decision-making.2

  • CRC-AIM

    The Colorectal Cancer-Adenoma Incidence and Mortality (CRC-AIM) model is a microsimulation model based on the CISNET model and Colorectal Cancer-Simulated Population model for Incidence and Natural history (CRC-SPIN) and includes natural history and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening components.3 CRC-AIM has been cross-validated against CISNET models.3
