N1 - Funding Information: In 2017, the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, sponsored in part by an unrestricted grant from the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, assembled a group of Canadian and American experts, including a family medicine representative, to create screening recommendations for patients with a family history of CRC or adenomas. These guidelines were subsequently endorsed by the American Gastroenterological Association and were published in full in 2018.7 They do not apply to patients with hereditary cancer syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis or Lynch syndrome. This article reviews these guidelines from a family medicine perspective, highlighting new CRC screening practices that should be incorporated into family practice and exploring the rationale and evidence behind these recommendations.
