Abstract

Clinical question Recent 15-year updates of sigmoidoscopy screening trials triggered the clinical questions: Does colorectal cancer screening make an important difference to health outcomes in individuals initiating screening at age 50 to 79? Is there a preferable approach among the screening options faecal immunochemical test (FIT) every year or every two years, or a single sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy?
