Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in the United States continue to fall short of guideline-recommended benchmarks. Challenges to increasing CRC screening include racial disparities, barriers at multiple levels of the health care system, and inadequate completion of 2-step screening. With new options for CRC screening and employment of programmatic strategies for screening by physicians, patients will have more opportunities to initiate and complete testing, which can ultimately improve CRC detection and prevention. This article highlights the current state of and optimal approach to CRC screening.
