Reviewer's report: 
General 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Major Compulsory Revisions (that the author must respond to before a decision on publication can be reached) 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Minor Essential Revisions (such as missing labels on figures, or the wrong use of a term, which the author can be trusted to correct) 
1. Define the abbreviation "CCS" the first time you use it. 
2. Page 8, next to last sentence: By "a high rate of non-responders is anyhow amenable in this kind of 
cross-sectional survey" do the authors mean that the high rate of non-responders is common in this kind of 
survey? 
3. Table 1: colonoscopies are not included in this table and the abbreviation can be removed from the 
footnote. 
4. Table 2: the footnote numbers are wrong. All footnote numbers throughout the text should be checked. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Discretionary Revisions (which the author can choose to ignore) 
1. the authors should consider adding that, in, addition to detecting early stage cancers, screening can 
detect pre-cancerous polyps which can be removed, thereby preventing cancer. 
 Accept after minor essential revisions What next?: 
 An article whose findings are important to those with closely related research interests Level of interest: 
 Needs some language corrections before being published Quality of written English: 
 No Statistical review: 
Declaration of competing interests: 
I declare that I have no competing interests.
