Despite high-quality evidence and a compelling rationale supporting screening for colorectal neoplasm, most age- and risk-appropriate Americans have not been screened.

This article summarizes evidence delineating barriers to colon cancer screening. The changes that must be implemented to overcome these barriers are discussed. Finally, implications for primary care practice and potential research questions are addressed.
