An individual's lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is estimated at 5%. Currently, screening the asymptomatic population is the only way to effectively reduce mortality. Colorectal cancer screening meets prospectively defined scientific criteria for screening and is more cost-effective than existing screening programmes for cancers of the cervix and breast. Therefore, screening for colorectal cancer should be implemented.
据估计，个体患结直肠癌的终生风险为5%。目前，对无症状人群进行筛查是有效降低死亡率的唯一途径。结直肠癌筛查符合前瞻性定义的筛查科学标准，并且比现有的宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查项目更具成本效益。因此，应开展结直肠癌筛查。
