Participation in a population-based screening for colorectal cancer using the faecal immunochemical test decreases mortality in 5 years

Background The steady increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) could be reversed through timely secondary prevention (screening) as a main strategy. The aims of this study were to determine the main features of CRC, survival rate and related factors for different types of identified CRCs in a population-based screening programme using the faecal immunochemical test (FIT). Materials and methods The CRCs in the susceptible population to be screened...
