Screening strategies for colorectal cancer

M J Solomon et al. Surg Clin North Am. 1993 Feb.

Abstract

The efficacy of screening for colorectal cancer has not been established. Policy-making organizations differ in recommendations for asymptomatic and high-risk groups because of the inadequacy of current evidence. A critical appraisal of the current evidence for screening for colorectal cancer and a discussion of the aims and pitfalls of screening programs are presented.
