The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved a blood test screening for colorectal cancer that has an over 83% success rate at detecting the presence of this form of cancer.
To prevent one case of colorectal cancer, 455 invitations to colonoscopy were required.

[32] In 2021, the US spent $43 billion on cancer screening to prevent five cancers, with colonoscopies accounting for 55% of the total. [33]
The consequences of overdiagnosis and overtreatment resulting from cancer screening can lead to a decline in quality of life, due to the adverse effects of unnecessary medication and hospitalization. [10] [12] [13] The accuracy of a cancer screening test relies on its sensitivity, and low sensitivity screening tests can overlook cancers. [10]
