Colorectal Cancer Screening Toolkit

Evidence-based resources to support colorectal cancer screening from risk assessment to screening modalities, guideline recommendations, and strategies that increase patient participation

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, even as overall incidence and death rates have declined. Rising rates of early-onset CRC underscore the need for timely, risk-informed screening. Routine CRC screening is of the few cancer screening strategies that can prevent disease through early detection and removal of premalignant lesions, making it essential to reducing disease burden. This toolkit gives clinicians practical, evidence-based resources to understand CRC burden, identify risk, compare screening options, apply current guideline recommendations, and implement strategies that improve screening completion and close care gaps.
