  2. Why should we screen for colorectal cancer?

  3. Why should we screen? • Common: • Worldwide, CRC is 2nd in women and 3rd in men • Over 600,000 deaths in 2008 • In US, CRC is 2nd leading cause of cancer death • 1 in 3 people who develop CRC die of this disease • Lifetime incidence for patients at average risk is 5% • 90% of cases occurring after age 50

  4. Why should we screen? Available (we can!): many options Knowledge: adenoma-carcinoma sequence Effective: removal of premalignant adenomas can prevent the cancer and removal of localized cancer may prevent CRC-related death Screening rates for CRC in US are below national targets, 52.3 to 65.4% (50 to 75 years old) 2002-2010
