Resumen
El cáncer colorrectal es la neoplasia más frecuente en los países occidentales y la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer. A pesar de ello, es uno de los tumores que más puede beneficiarse de medidas preventivas, en especial del cribado. Para ello, se dispone de diversas estrategias coste-efectivas: detección de sangre oculta en heces anual o bienal, sigmoidoscopia flexible cada 5 años y colonoscopia cada 10 años. En el presente artículo se revisan las comunicaciones más relevantes presentadas en el congreso anual de la American Gastroenterological Association, celebrado en Chicago en mayo de 2011 en relación con el cribado del cáncer colorrectal.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the most frequent neoplasm in Western countries and the second leading cause of cancer death. However, this form of cancer may benefit from preventive measures, especially screening. Several cost-effective strategies are available: annual and biennial fecal occult blood testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years, and colonoscopy every 10 years. The present article reviews the most interesting communications on colorectal cancer screening presented at the last meeting of the American Gastroenterological Association held in Chicago in may 2011.
