Core Tip This meta-analysis confirms that screening flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) reduces the overall incidence of and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). In addition, FS reduces the incidence of and mortality from distal CRC, incidence of proximal CRC, and decreases the likelihood of subsequent diagnosis of advanced CRC. We believe, based on the proven benefits of FS, lower rates of complications with FS than with colonoscopy and feasibility in clinical practice, FS should be offered as an option for CRC screening, particularly in the population-based CRC screening programs.
