- Abstract
Colorectal Cancer is a common disease in our environment, its incidence and mortality varies significantly around the world. In our country and Latin America, efforts have been made to improve the diagnostic rates of the RCC and modern screening programs are currently being carried out. To aim for a good CCR screening program, the target population must be established and evaluated. Once the patient's risk is established, various diagnostic options will be chosen, highlighting colonoscopy as "the gold standard" for elevated risk and high-risk patients; while immunochemical fecal tests are recommended for patients with average risk. This review describes the different tools available to create CCR screening programs and recommendations for their use.
