Centre for Research Excellence for reducing the burden of colorectal cancer by optimising screening: evidence to clinical practice

肠癌是第二大确诊癌症，也是导致癌症死亡的原因，是可以预防的。低风险人群不需要筛查，或者只需要廉价的粪便潜血检查。风险增加的人需要更昂贵和侵入性的结肠镜检查。低风险人群结肠镜检查使用过度，高风险人群结肠镜检查使用不足。我们的中心汇集了科学家、流行病学家和临床医生，开发个性化的风险工具和方法，以实施该工具，以增加适当的筛查。

Bowel cancer, the second most diagnosed and cause of cancer death is preventable. Low risk people need no screening or just inexpensive fecal occult blood tests. Increased risk people need the more expensive and invasive colonoscopies. There is overuse of colonoscopy by those at low risk and underuse by those at high risk. Our Centre brings together scientists, epidemiologists and clinicians to develop a personalised risk tool and methods to implement the tool to increase appropriate screening.
