Should we screen for colorectal cancer in liver transplantation?

Annual and cumulative number of liver transplantations (LT) in the United States according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) [1].

Age-specific incidence of CRC in the general population according to the Surveillance Epidemiologic and End Results (SEERs) cancer statistics 1998–2002, and hypothesized age-specific incidence in the LT population. A, incidence in the LT population <50 years; B, incidence in the general population >50 years. If A≥B, then screening in the LT population <50 years would be justified [37].
