摘要
While methods of screening for colorectal cancer undoubtedly will be refined and new techniques devel-oped, there is ample evidence to support use of the currently employed protocol: annual fecal occult blood testing and periodic flexible sigmoidoscopy. Aggressive attempts to educate physicians and patients on the importance of such screening are needed. Primary care physicians can play an important role in ensuring patient compliance and reducing the incidence of this serious oublie health problem.
