| Summary: | Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health threat. Therefore, CRC screening
uptake has been a focus with the established precancerous lesion and the strong
association of early detection with staging and survival of the disease. However,
CRC screening is relatively low in many countries. This article briefly discussed the
current situation of CRC, recommendations, and current uptake of CRC screening in
various countries. Besides that, this article also highlights the potential factors that
help to predict the CRC screening uptake worldwide. Identification of those factors
could guide policymakers to develop an effective strategy to improve the CRC
screening uptake and ultimately improve the health outcome of the population. |
