Colorectal Cancer Mortality Following an Organized Fecal Immunochemical Test–Based Screening Program

In this retrospective, population-based, descriptive cohort study, organized FIT-based screening was associated with a sustained decline in CRC mortality, particularly among individuals aged 50 to 69 years. These findings support the long-term benefit of organized FIT-based screening programs as a public health strategy to reduce CRC-related mortality.
