Modifiable Failures in the Colorectal Cancer Screening Process and Their Association with Risk of Death
Colorectal cancer (CRC) deaths occur when patients do not receive screening or have inadequate follow up of abnormal results, or when the screening test itself fails. We have few data on the contribution of each to CRC-associated deaths or factors associa...
