Colorectal cancer screening awareness in European primary care

Mauri, D.; Pentheroudakis, George; Milousis, A.; Xilomenos, A.; Panagoulopoulou, E.; Bristianou, M.; Zacharias, G.; Christidis, D.; Mustou, E. A.; Gkinosati, A.; Pavlidis, Nicholas (2006)

Background: Adjustment for stage at diagnosis markedly reduces USA versus European colorectal cancer survival differences and a screening bias was therefore suspected. Moreover, little is known about colorectal cancer ...
