Consensus Opinion

The two most recent guidelines for colorectal cancer screening are those of the Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research, and the American Cancer Society. The guidelines are similar in many regards and reflect current literature, consensus opinion and compromise between members of multidisciplinary panels. The emphasis of both guidelines is to increase the options available for colorectal cancer screening. Increasing choice should expand the attractiveness of colorectal cancer screening to more patients and physicians, and the development of guidelines should help compel payers to provide reimbursement for colorectal cancer screening. These guidelines are summarized and evaluated as they pertain to colorectal cancer screening.

Endoscopic Assessment

The endoscopic assessment of cavitary organs, with the exception of the uterus, became the gold standard for cancer screening and prevention in the 21st century. The aim of this communication is to suggest to include hysteroscopy as a part of regular well women examination. The use of colonoscopy as a primary screening tool for colorectal cancer is gaining momentum due to several studies suggesting its effectiveness [1-3]. The American Cancer Society and the American College of Gastroenterology published guidelines for colorectal cancer screening in which they recommend that screening should begin at age 50 for all asymptomatic individuals. The American Cancer Society recommends that average-risk individuals obtain a flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years or a colonoscopy every 10 years [1-4].
