Colorectal Cancer Screening Evidence-Based Programs Listing

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends the use of client reminders to increase colorectal cancer screening with fecal occult blood testing based on strong evidence of effectiveness. The CPSTF finds insufficient evidence to determine effectiveness of client reminders in increasing colorectal cancer screening with tests other than FOBT (colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy), because of inconsistent evidence.
