In Egypt, there are no current
screening or surveillance guidelines for CRC, and most of the individual
screening is scarcely done. Consequently, many cases of CRC are
diagnosed in a late stage. Hence, we are in a real and urgent need to
formulate Egyptian guidelines that suites our population, our physicians and
compel with our limited health resources. These guidelines if formulated and
implemented will help to detect early stages of CRC, reduce the
cancer-related treatment expenses, and will improve the prognosis.
The awareness of both the public
and the physicians about this preventable cancer needs enhancements.
