【 摘 要 】

The colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed and is the second leading cause of cancer death among American people. However, when it is detected in early stages, it has high level of cure with 5-year survival over 95%. So, colorectal cancer must be precociously diagnosed and surgically managed. Preventive strategy must be done using fecal occult blood test for mass colorectal screening.
