- Title
Colorectal Cancer Screening: The Time Is Now!
- Authors
Walsh, Judith
- Abstract
The article comments on the screening for colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common form of cancer in the U.S. Screening for CRC was one of the highest ranked services with the lowest delivery rate and it was concluded that it should be a national priority to increase rates of CRC screening. Time is an extremely important barrier: although it is a barrier for the provision of any preventive service in the context of a routine medical visit. Screening will not happen if the patient and the physician do not think about it.
