Screening for Colon Cancer $BlogItemSubject"; $newslink[$countera]="http://www.medjournal.com/blog/archives/2002_12_01_cancerarchive.php#90032710"; ?>
This Italian study looked at the effect of screening adults at 60 years of age for colon cancer using sigmoidoscopy. Of the 9911 patients examined, 54 were found to have colorectal cancer. Comment: there is some controversy in screening for colon cancer. My opinion is that actual visualization is preferrable to just screening the stool for occult blood. [ Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 94, No. 23, 1763-1772, December 4, 2002 ] posted at 3:54 PM by Tom Heston, MD
