Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Family physicians play an integral role in educating patients about the current screening recommendations and modalities of available screening to improve early detection and allow treatment at its earliest stages. Family physicians must have the tools to minimize barriers to screening, alleviate patient concerns about screening modalities available, and educate patients on lifestyle modifications that have the potential to significantly lower the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Osteopathic physicians should consider the five osteopathic treatment models when developing an individualized plan for each patient.
