A study conducted in Sweden showed that people who participate in colon cancer early diagnosis programs can have their death risk reduced by 43%. The program works by sending a test kit to individuals between the ages of 60-74 every 24 months, which they prepare at home. Those who test positive are then subjected to further examinations.
The authors of the study noted that participants in the program had a lower death risk and that the program saves lives. However, they also emphasized that about a third of people do not participate in these tests.
While emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis programs, it is suggested that such programs should be implemented on a larger scale.
