Abstract

Introduction

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths for men and women separately and the second leading cause of cancer deaths for men and women combined. CRC screening allows for cancer prevention, early treatment, or cure. Thus, screening can decrease the incidence and mortality of CRC. This supports the importance of making efforts to improve screening rates through public health programs and policy.

Programs and Policy

Government sponsored public health programs have been shown to be effective at increasing CRC screening rates at comparable costs across multiple regions and populations in the United States. Additionally, policy has been evolving to provide more comprehensive coverage of CRC screening tests.

Conclusion

Both public health programming and policy are important tools to increase CRC screening rates, with the ultimate goals of decreasing CRC incidence and mortality. CRC screening and its dissemination has been shown to be adoptable and cost effective, and should continue to be the focus of public health programming and policy efforts.

美国联邦立法的结肠癌和直肠癌筛查计划和政策的影响

导言：大肠癌（CRC）是导致男性和女性癌症死亡的第三大原因，也是导致男性和女性癌症死亡的第二大原因。通过 CRC 筛查可以预防、早期治疗或治愈癌症。因此，筛查可以降低 CRC 的发病率和死亡率。计划和政策在美国多个地区和人群中，政府资助的公共卫生计划已被证明能有效提高 CRC 筛查率，且成本相当。结论公共卫生计划和政策都是提高 CRC 筛查率的重要工具，其最终目标是降低 CRC 发病率和死亡率。CRC 筛查及其传播已被证明是可采用且具有成本效益的，应继续成为公共卫生计划和政策工作的重点。
