Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) affects approximately 43,000 people each year in France and is responsible for nearly 18,000 deaths a year. The national organized screening program contributes to its early detection. The test is available to the preferred GP or, to the Regional Center in charge of the invited public. Often the process of going to his doctor to get the test is not well accepted and the participation in organized screening is low. Our project aims to evaluate the impact of the provision of this test in pharmacies on screening for colorectal cancer in Corsica. The article describes the method used to mobilize the primary care pharmacists of the territory, provide them the test kits and follow-up of the people who took part in the test. The results presented highlight a very positive impact of the experiment with a progression of the realized rate to 36% over the period of 9 months.
