Colorectal Cancer Screening Evidence-Based Programs Listing

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends interventions to reduce structural barriers to increase screening for colorectal cancers by fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) on the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness. The CPSTF finds insufficient evidence to determine whether reducing structural barriers is effective in increasing colorectal cancer screening by flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy because only one study using these screening procedures was identified.
