COLORECTAL CANCERConsiderable indirect evidence, based on the natural history of colorectal cancer and the ability of tests to detect adenomas and invasive cancers, suggests that screening for colorectal cancer reduces mortality. Without screen...

Tests which have been considered for screening include faecal occult blood tests, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. To determine whether screening for colorectal cancer using the faecal occult blood test, Hemoccult reduces colorectal cancer mortality and to consider the benefits and harms of screening. ...
Detection of appropriate receptor proteins and drug agents are equally important in the case of drug discovery and development for any disease. In this study, an attempt was made to explore colorectal cancer (CRC) causing molecular signatures as receptor

Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) should begin at 45 years of age to match rising mortality rates in young adults, research presented today at the 25th UEG Week Barcelona reveals. Scientists in France analysed 6,027 colonoscopies and found a 400% increase in the detection of neoplasia (the...
