Description: Australian states are currently rolling out colorectal cancer screening as part of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. Its success depends on the “physical or psychological harm to those concerned be[ing] less than the chance of benefit”. Now is an appropriate time to undertake further prospective studies into the impact of colorectal cancer screening on the population groups involved to ensure that its benefits continue to outweigh its risks, and that we maximise its benefits and minimise its risks.
