Core Tip	One-fifth of people who develop colorectal cancer (CRC) have a first-degree relative (FDR) affected by this malignancy. Screening is an efficient method to reduce mortality for CRC and should be started in FDRs earlier than in the population at average risk. There is a large disparity in guidelines for screening in familial CRC, therefore, here we address the principal indication and methods for screening in this population at increased risk. Recent or emerging methods to improve the participation rate in screening programs are described. Ongoing trials on CRC screening are also reported.
