Core Tip	The high colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality rate worldwide, despite the adequate availability of modern screening, diagnostic and treatment options, raises important research and clinical questions. In both low- and middle- income countries (LMICs), and minority populations of high-income countries, the paradox of underutilization of existing screening methods was observed. The lack of global, homogeneous guidelines and the absence of guidelines addressing CRC screening at the national level for LMICs, contribute to the confusing status in the management of screening of aforementioned populations. Global efforts should focus on medical education and vigilance of medical healthcare providers and patients, on exploring the socio-economic aspects, and on the use of technological innovations in telemedicine and artificial intelligence in clinical practice.
