| Core Tip |
Colon cancer is rising in incidence and prevalence worldwide. Colon cancer screening programs are associated with reduction in cancer diagnoses and in advanced stages of cancer diagnoses. The ideal screening test remains unclear but both FIT testing and colonoscopy are both appropriate modalities. Ultimately, if a patient has risk factors or if the FIT test is positive, then colonoscopy should be used to evaluate for colon cancer. |
