Challenge
Challenge
Organised call-recall screening can drastically reduce colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, but this requires close alignment of all stakeholders, high screenee participation, and adequate quality assurance and follow-up. This can be strongly facilitated and enhanced by creating a platform of continuous international exchange of knowledge as well as international research collaboration.
