Abstract
We read with interest the article "A New Risk-Scoring
System for Colorectal Cancer and Polyp Screening by
Turkish Colorectal Cancer and Polyp Study Group" by
Erdem et al 1 published online in this journal. The article presents an analysis of several risk factors of colorectal cancer and the results of colonoscopy of 6508 subjects suggesting a new scoring system for colorectal cancer and polyp screening. The authors concluded that according to this new scoring system, screening for colorectal cancer should start at the age of 45 in patients with scores >=4.
