Second only to lung cancer in mortality, colon cancer is amenable to cure if detected early. Because fecal occult blood testing and flexible sigmoidoscopy are effective individually but have limitations, both are now recommended for screening. However, after successful polyp removal, surveillance colonoscopy does not need to be performed as often as previously thought.
结肠癌的死亡率仅次于肺癌，但如果早期发现，是可以治愈的。由于粪便潜血试验和乙状结肠镜检查单独使用时都有效，但存在局限性，现在推荐两者用于筛查。然而，在成功切除息肉后，监测结肠镜检查的频率不必像以前认为的那样高。
