Screening of CRC can be done by Computerized Tomography (CT) Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, virtual colonoscopy, Fecal Immunohistochemical Test (FIT), Fecal Occult Blood Testing (FOBT). Capecitabine Adrucil Avastine Bevacizumab, Camptosar,Cetuximabetc.drugs are used in thecoloncancer.Adrucil(Fluorouracil),Efudex,Erbitux(Cetuximab),Fluoroplex(Fluorouracil),Irinotecan Hydrochloride etc. drugs are used in rectal cancer.
