Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
It was a pleasure to read your work titled “A new modality of colorectal cancer screening based
on chronic disease management"
I commend the Authors on their well-researched and relevant work in the field of colorectal
cancer screening, especially in resource limited settings.
There are a few concerns that I have outlined below.
Minor
#1 Although this is a well-designed study, I am afraid this lacks novelty. It is well known that
awareness and education improve adherence to disease screening programs as a whole and is
not unique to colorectal cancer screening. As such the outcomes can be considered very much
predictable
# 2 In keeping with the above, it seems that the title "A new modality for colorectal cancer
screening" is not the most accurate as this study does not describe a new screening tool, but
demonstrates how education and awareness improves reception from the community.
Overall, I feel this study highlights the importance to good quality patient education and ongoing
doctor-patient relationship as a major determinant of success of any preventive/screening
program.
