Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening aims to reduce deaths. This review analyzes studies on fecal occult blood tests, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy to determine the most effective and cost-efficient screening protocols for different risk groups.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death globally, with persistent mortality rates despite diagnostic and therapeutic advancements.
  • Many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, highlighting the need for early detection through screening of pre-malignant lesions and surveillance for high-risk individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze published studies on colorectal cancer screening.
  • To evaluate the reduction in CRC morbidity and mortality achieved by various screening procedures across different risk groups.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on colorectal cancer screening studies.
  • Analysis of data from screening methods including fecal occult blood tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy, used individually or in combination.

Main Results:

  • Evidence on screening methods for specific risk groups is limited and often lacks controlled study data.
  • Existing data suggest that screening strategies, including fecal occult blood tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy, aim to reduce CRC morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to determine the most cost-effective screening protocol for each CRC risk category.
  • Advances in molecular genetics, combined with current screening data, hold promise for improving the efficacy and reducing the cost of colorectal cancer screening.
