Abstract:
An individual's lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is estimated at 5%. Currently, screening the asymptomatic population is the only way to effectively reduce mortality. Colorectal cancer screening meets prospectively defined scientific criteria for screening and is more cost-effective than existing screening programmes for cancers of the cervix and breast. Therefore, screening for colorectal cancer should be implemented.
