UNLABELLED: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant disease in developed countries and its incidence is steadily growing. This trend has a stable character despite the fact that CRC is among the best prevention influenced malignancies. National CRC screening program in the Czech Republic, which was established in year 2000, follows the world trends resulting from evidence based medicine. Currently, the basic tools of screening program are immunochemical fecal occult blood tests and colonoscopy in case of their positivity or screening colonoscopy. Stagnation of participating population resulted to initiation of address invitation of the target population in January 2014, in which citizens are regularly invited to attend the screening program and their response is subsequently evaluated. Screening that impacts whole target group is called population screening. KEY WORDS: colorectal cancer, population screening program, colonoscopy, fecal occult blood tests, address invitation.
