Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the predominant tumors in the world, primarily generated by a progression from polyp to cancer which can last several years, giving a great opportunity to the scientific community for its prevention by screening programs that can be done with invasive and non-invasive tests. In this issue, Lopes et al show us an excellent review of screening, its options, its advantages and disadvantages.
