Mass Screening of Neuroblastoma

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983
Sir .—I must question the conclusion reached by Sawada et al in their article "Mass Screening of Neuroblastoma in Infancy" (Journal1982;136:710-712).

There is strong evidence that population screening can reduce mortality from colorectal cancer. Screening tests such as faecal occult blood test and flexible sigmoidoscopy are used to identify patients with an increased risk of cancer who would benefit from a full colon examination. There is indirect evidence that colonoscopy may be effective as a mass
