Resumo"There is so much in life we can't control. But here's something we can: colorectal cancer", said Academy Award winning actress Meryl Streep in the USA's Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign. Her comment on colorectal cancer might not be entirely accurate, but it has some merit with regard to prevention of this disease. As discussed in a Seminar by Hermann Brenner and colleagues in today's Lancet, colorectal cancer offers much better opportunities for secondary prevention by early detection and screening than do most other cancers.
