Colorectal cancer (CRC) has been a common malignant tumor in China. Through the great effort in cancer prevention and treatment, the 5-year survival rate of patients with CRC in China has been largely improved. However, insufficient early diagnosis and treatment have seriously impeded the prognosis of Chinese CRC patients. The Early Diagnosis and Treatment Group of the Chinese Medical Association, Oncology Branch organized experts in the area of CRC to write the Expert Consensus on the Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer in China and issued it publicly (2020 edition). The 2020 edition of expert consensus has been meaningful to the early diagnosis and standardized treatment of CRC. Based on the prior edition, the Early Diagnosis and Treatment Group of the Chinese Medical Association, Oncology Branch revise the consensus focused on the early screening and diagnosis protocols for colorectal cancer, endoscopic/surgical management of early colorectal tumor, as well as adjuvant treatment and remedial measures and follow-up monitoring protocols. The 2023 edition of the consensus not only synthesized the latest evidence from China and combined it with the specific national condition and clinical practice, but also referred to the international guidelines. This 2023 edition consensus, developed for clinicians working on the screening, early diagnosis and treatment for CRC, would further promote the standardization and advances in the diagnosis and treatment of CRC at the early stage in China, and improve the survival and prognosis of CRC.
