Abstract
- In the last decade, several studies have explored various modalities and strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, taking into account epidemiological data, individual characteristics, and socioeconomic factors. In this editorial, we comment further on a retrospective study by Agatsuma et al published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology . Our focus is on screening trends, particularly in relation to efforts to improve the currently suboptimal uptake among the general population worldwide, aiming to enhance early diagnosis rates of CRC. There is a need to raise awareness through health edu-cation programs and to consider the use of readily available, non-invasive screening methods. These strategies are crucial for attracting screen-eligible populations to participate in first-line screening, especially those in high- or average-risk groups and in regions with limited resources. Liquid biopsies and biomarkers represent rapidly evolving trends in screening and diagnosis; however, their clinical relevance has yet to be standardized.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict-of-interest statement: All the authors report no relevant conflicts of interest for this article.<br /> (©The Author(s) 2024.
