In the Dutch colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program, individuals aged 55 to 75 years are invited biennially for fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based screening using a positivity cut-off of 47 microgram Hemoglobin per gram feces (µg Hb/g)…

Colonoscopy surveillance intervals are based on the predicted risk of metachronous colorectal cancer (CRC) after polyp removal. Due to the presence of co-existent findings at baseline colonoscopy, risk estimation per specific polyp subtype is difficult…

Most colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs use a uniform screening strategy. However, it may be more efficient to screen males and females differently due to (ambivalent) biological and demographic differences between the sexes…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes have been shown effective in reducing CRC incidence and mortality. Risk stratification offers opportunities for further optimisation of screening programmes by better balancing the harms and benefits of screening…

Colonoscopy surveillance for Lynch syndrome is burdensome and post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers (CRCs) still occur. The non-invasive faecal immunochemical test (FIT) might guide optimal colonoscopy intervals…
