Description

Disagrees with the conclusions reached by the author of the related article that a national one-off flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) screening programme is a more effective method for reducing bowel cancer incidence and mortality than faecal occult blood test (FOBT) screening. Puts forth reasons why FS is an unsatisfactory primary screening test.
