Three years of colorectal cancer screening in Denmark

ConclusionsCompared to the European Guidelines, all performance indicators were above the acceptable level and close to the desirable level. Based on these findings, the implementation of the National Danish Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme is considered a success and the programme is hopefully in the process of reducing colorectal cancer morbidity and mortality in Denmark.This study provides relevant information for comparisons to other population-based public service colorectal cancer screening programmes as well as for future revisions of guidelines.
