Colorectal Cancer Screening Evidence-Based Programs Listing

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends the use of one-on-one education to increase colorectal cancer screening with fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) based on sufficient evidence of effectiveness. The CPSTF finds insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of one-on-one education in increasing colorectal cancer screening tests other than fecal occult blood testing (FOBT), because only two qualifying studies assessed colonoscopy (with inconsistent results), and only one qualifying study assessed flexible sigmoidoscopy (which found no effect).
