Description

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent malignancy globally. Screening for CRC at a certain age is strongly encouraged for prompt earlier diagnosis owing to prognoses being greatly correlated with time of detection and cancer staging. This review aimed to elucidate the most recent advancements in the detection of CRC, with an emphasis on the latest innovations in diagnostics in conjunction with radiological imaging alongside stool-based tests for CRC screening. A comprehensive review of the literature was performed, focusing on specific terms in different electronic databases. Articles screened and evaluated were deemed relevant to the study aim and were presented in the medium of the English language.There have been several innovations in the diagnostics and identification of CRC. These generally comprise molecular biomarkers, currently being studied for suitability in disease detection.
