Status and progress of colorectal cancer screening methods / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

With the development of biotechnology and medical technology, screening methods for colorectal cancer have been gradually improved, including invasive and non-invasive methods. Because of the high price of invasive tests and poor patient compliance, it is not yet possible to use them independently for the nationwide colorectal cancer screening. There is an urgent need for simpler, more economical, more specific and sensitive examinations as auxiliary means, so the non-invasive examination method has become a research hotspot in this field. The invasive examination is mainly endoscopy, while the non-invasive examination is mainly imaging examination and detection based on different sample sources. This article reviews the current status and research progress of colorectal cancer screening methods.
