Uitvoeringstoets bevolkingsonderzoek naar darmkanker : Opsporing van darmkanker in praktijk gebracht

 

Short report

The introduction and implementation of nationwide population screening for bowel cancer in the Netherlands is certainly feasible. However, the population screening programme will require effective preparation and a phased introduction if the associated quality requirements are to be guaranteed.
