Q&A on diagnosis, screening and follow-up of colorectal neoplasia.
The impressive and brisk evolution of medical science prevents many physicians from a thorough update on all the research fields. Colorectal cancer diagnosis, screening and follow-up is well known to require a multi-disciplinary approach, as it is faced by several specialties such as primary care physicians, gastroenterologists, non-gastroenterologist internists, radiologists and surgeons. To address this issue in a mutual perspective, we focused on the main points of the epidemiology, diagnosis, screening and follow-up of colorectal neoplasia by using a simple "Question & Answers" structure.
