The impact of a six-year existing screening programme using the faecal immunochemical test in Flanders (Belgium) on colorectal cancer incidence, mortality and survival : a population-based study
Abstract: The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) has been increasingly used for organised colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. We assessed the impact of a six-year existing FIT screening programme in Flanders (Belgium) on CRC incidence, mortality and survival.
