The paper provides information on the development of a set of organizational measures. Activities involving the use of diagnostic and digital technologies. The events are aimed at early detection of colorectal cancer in the Samara region. The working group has developed an algorithm for colorectal cancer screening as part of a medical examination for the population aged 40 to 75 years. The algorithm determines the main tasks, the stage of screening, and the effectiveness criteria. The list of medical organizations that participated in the project has been determined. Work has been carried out on building tasks in the information system. Reporting forms have been developed for all project participants with a clear algorithm for filling them out, a single formation and direction of deadlines, and for all interested parties. The package of measures was issued in the form of orders from the Ministry of Health of the Samara region in 2023-2025. The complex of measures proved its effectiveness by increasing the number of newly diagnosed cases of colorectal cancer by 23%, as well as by reducing the proportion of patients with stage 3-4 colorectal cancer.
