Fecal Immunochemical Testing for Colorectal Cancer Prevention in Two Public Hospitals

A substantial number of CRCs and potentially preventable CRCs must have been missed because of low adherence rate, especially in older patients. Improving adherence to CRC screening in public hospitals requires enhanced patient engagement.
