  • Title: Detecting early colon cancer.
    Author: Winawer SJ, Sherlock P.
    Journal: Hosp Pract; 1977 Mar; 12(3):49-56. PubMed ID: 838496.
    Abstract:
    Techniques enabling detection of early colon cancer already exist, but to be more productive in terms of improving survival they must be applied in a meaningful sequence and repeated regularly in high-risk patients. Positive findings in specific screening steps based on well-known risk factors in colon cancer always call for aggressive follow-up. The advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques are discussed.
