TLDR
These guidelines differ from those published in 1997 in several ways: the screening interval for double contrast barium enema has been shortened to 5 years, and colonoscopy is the preferred test for the diagnostic investigation of patients with findings on screening and for screening patients with a family history of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.About:

Screening and surveillance for the early detection of colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps, 2008: a joint guideline from the American Cancer Society, the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer, and the American College of Radiology.

TL;DR: Clinicians should be prepared to offer patients a choice between a screening test that is effective at both early cancer detection and cancer prevention through the detection and removal of polyps and those that can detect cancer early and also can detect adenomatous polyps.

American College of Gastroenterology Guidelines for Colorectal Cancer Screening 2008
Douglas K. Rex,David A. Johnson,Joe Anderson,Phillip S Schoenfeld,Carol A. Burke,John M. Inadomi +5 more
TL;DR: This document is the first update of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) colorectal cancer screening recommendations since 2000, and it is recognized that colonoscopy is not available in every clinical setting because of economic limitations.

TL;DR: In the United States, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed among men and women and the second leading cause of death from cancer CRC largely can be prevented by the detection and removal of adenomatous polyps, and survival is significantly better when CRC is diagnosed while still localized.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of colonoscopy in reducing colon cancer incidence depends on adequate visualization of the entire colon, diligence in examining the mucosa, and patient acceptance of the procedure, and areas for continuous quality improvement are defined.

Jeroen C. van Rijn,Johannes B. Reitsma,Jaap Stoker,Patrick M.M. Bossuyt,Sander J. H. van Deventer,Evelien Dekker +5 more
TL;DR: Colonoscopy rarely misses polyps ≥10 mm, but the miss rate increases significantly in smaller sized polyps.

TL;DR: The results of the National Polyp Study support the view that colorectal adenomas progress to adenocarcinomas, as well as the current practice of searching for and removing adenomatous polyps to prevent coloreCTal cancer.

The task force.
TL;DR: The Joint UNECE/Eurostat/OECD Working Group on Statistics for Sustainable Development (WGSSD) was commissioned by the CES in 2005 to develop a broad conceptual framework for measuring sustainable development based on the capital approach, and to identify a small set of indicators that could serve for international comparisons.

TL;DR: Inherited genetic factors make a minor contribution to susceptibility to most types of neoplasms, which indicates that the environment has the principal role in causing sporadic cancer.

TL;DR: Cutting mortality in the annually screened group was accompanied by improved survival in those with colorectal cancer and a shift to detection at an earlier stage of cancer.
