Colorectal cancer screening has vast potential. Beyond considerations for cost and diagnostic accuracy, the effectiveness of any colorectal screening strategy will be dependent on the degree of patient acceptance. Magnetic resonance (MR) colonography has been shown to be accurate regarding the detection of clinically relevant colonic polyps exceeding 10 mm in size, with reported sensitivity and...

متن کاملCompetition in Colon Cancer Screening? What Is the Role of Colonoscopy?
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the Western world. The incidence could be reduced if this cancer were to be diagnosed at an early stage of disease. A competition has started between the existing screening methods to be the most efficient in detecting premalignant conditions. This review illustrates the current state of screening techniq...
