Abstract

Thailand launch colorectal cancer screening program for population since 2018. It is operated by health network of service plan under control of Ministry of Public Health of Thailand. Target population is healthy people between the ages of 50-70 years. There are about 12.9 million population of the age range in all regions except region 13 (Bangkok) of Thailand.Between 2018-2021, we are targeting 1.3 million population. There are an average of 821,019 participants for stool test (64.9%) in each year. Four years cumulative positive stool test is 141,215 persons. Of these, colonoscopy was performed in 43,211 (30.6%). Polyp detection rate and cancer detection rate is 21.0% and 3.1% respectively.In conclusion, performance of screening colorectal cancer program in Thailand between 2018-2021 is still under standard in the aspect of coverage rate, adherence to colonoscopy and polyp detection rate. However, adherence to colonoscopy and polyp detection rate is improving in the last 2 years.
