      abstract = {This volume provides a comprehensive overview of quality  metrics and methods used to improve quality for all major  modalities of CRC screening. It introduces the readers to  the evidence of effectiveness behind various CRC screening  modalities: stool-based tests (Fecal Occult Blood, Fecal  Immunochemical and Fecal DNA tests), flexible  sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and CT colonography. In-depth  chapters review the latest guidelines for CRC screening,  compare differences among the five major national  guidelines, and highlight the need for valid quality and  cost indicators. While the main focus of this volume is on  colonoscopy, since most quality indicators and analyses  have focused on this modality of screening and  surveillance, one chapter is devoted to quality indicators  of other screening modalities. Differences between process  and outcome measures are also highlighted and a small but  valid set of recommended national measures are listed.  Written by experts in the field, Colorectal Cancer  Screening: Quality and Benchmarks is an important and  useful resource written for gastroenterologists, primary  care physicians, general and colorectal surgeons, family  physicians, and investigators with research focus in  screening and quality metrics.},
