Characteristics of the colorectal cancers diagnosed in the early 2000s in Italy. Figures from the IMPATTO study on colorectal cancer screening
The impact of organized screening programmes on colorectal cancer (CRC) can be observed at a population level only several years after the implementation of screening.
