摘要：

Despite the recent emergence of several proven screening tests, the colorectal cancer death rate has been declining at the same rate since 1970. Two articles in this issue identify a potential explanation: Clinicians are using a poor test to detect fecal occult blood instead of the tests that the evidence supports. Nadel and colleagues show that many physicians use a screening method that the article by Collins and colleagues entirely discredits.
