Vorsorge des kolorektalen Karzinoms

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated morbidity and mortality worldwide. The main risk factors include lifestyle factors, advanced age, positive family history, and male sex. Screening can reduce incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. In contrast to endoscopy and stool tests which detect occult blood molecular stool tests, virtual endoscopy and capsule endoscopy are so far not established for early detection.
