  • Preventive Medicine
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Growing evidence from retrospective and prospective studies supports cancer screening.
  • Colorectal cancer screening is recommended for average-risk individuals aged 50 and above.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different screening methods for colorectal cancer.
  • To determine the potential mortality reduction from colorectal cancer screening.

Summary:

  • Proctoscopy may decrease rectal cancer mortality.
  • Fecal occult blood tests (Hemoccult-II) show potential in reducing colorectal cancer mortality.
  • A combination of Hemoccult-II and flexible sigmoidoscopy is anticipated to reduce colorectal cancer mortality by at least 30%.
