Abstract
It is difficult to resist the undeniable allure of screening as a means to diagnose common, potentially serious diseases before their natural history reaches an incurable stage. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a classical example where the benefits seem to be within reach: we have technologies available that allow its diagnosis before symptoms or signs develop, at a reasonable cost, and using methods acceptable by a significant percentage of the population.
