Colorectal cancer screening in Canada

This newly released report from the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer presents colorectal cancer screening program quality indicators in Canada for the calendar years 2011 and 2012. It builds on the 2009–2010 report, which described the first round of screening. Data are provided for Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. The evaluation framework includes 12 quality indicators that were measured in the previous report, as well as three additional indicators (retention rate, 14 day unplanned hospitalization after follow-up colonoscopy, and interval colorectal cancer rate).
