title: Screening: Colorectal cancer screening--insights and challenges.
abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, the decade's most promising cancer-related public health development, is evolving. Faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) will be the primary population-based CRC screening biomarker for the next 10-15 years. Will the international community exploit the full potential of FIT and other CRC risk indicators to enable a revolution in the effectiveness of screening?
