TLDR
Evidence from this study and other trials suggest that consideration should be given to a national programme of FOB screening to reduce CRC mortality in the general population.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.

TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that colonoscopic removal of adenomatous polyps prevents death from colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer screening and surveillance: clinical guidelines and rationale-update based on new evidence

TL;DR: 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.

Colorectal cancer screening: Clinical guidelines and rationale

TL;DR: This guideline report presents the panel’s recommendations with respect to screening and surveillance in people at average risk for CRC and those at increased risk because of a family history of CRC or genetic syndromes or a personal history of adenomatous polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, or curative-intent resection of CRC.

Use of Colonoscopy to Screen Asymptomatic Adults for Colorectal Cancer
David A. Lieberman,David G. Weiss,John H. Bond,Dennis J. Ahnen,Harinder S. Garewal,Gregorio Chejfec +5 more
TL;DR: Colonoscopic screening can detect advanced colonic neoplasms in asymptomatic adults with or without distal neoplasia, and many of these neoplasm would not be detected with sigmoidoscopy.

Reducing Mortality from Colorectal Cancer by Screening for Fecal Occult Blood
Jack S. Mandel,John H. Bond,Timothy R. Church,Dale C. Snover,Bradley Gm,Leonard M. Schuman,Fred Ederer +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised study of screening for colorectal cancer with faecal-occult-blood test
TL;DR: The findings indicate that biennial screening by FOB tests can reduce CRC mortality, and the effect of the removal of more precursor adenomas in the screening-group participants than in controls on CRC incidence.

The classification of cancer of the rectum
TL;DR: The scope and limitations of histological grading by Broders' method are discussed and the conclusions reached that grading of a tumour is also of value for prognosis, though not when applied to fragments removed for diagnosis.
