 \nDear General Practitioners\, Medical Specialists and Paramedics\,\nWe ar
 e happy to announce the Mini-Conference ‘Caribbean Colorectal Cancer Scree
 ning’ with walking dinner\, organized by Fundashon Prevenshon and NASKHO o
 n November 9th 18.30h till 22.00h in the Renaissance Hotel. We warmly invi
 te you to participate in this event.Description of the Mini-Conference ‘Ca
 ribbean Colorectal Cancer Screening’Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most co
 mmon type of gastrointestinal cancer and the third most commonly diagnosed
  cancer worldwide1. The incidence in men is higher than in women\, approxi
 mately 23 versus 16 per 100 000 respectively2. In 2018 over 850 000 people
  died of CRC. The numbers are expected to increase over time\, with data s
 howing an expected 3 million active cases by 2040. This burden of disease 
 makes CRC an important global health issue.The goal of population screenin
 g is to prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer (the screening detects
  a pre-stage) and to find existing cases. Prevention is achieved by identi
 fying developed polyps (advanced adenomas). The Caribbean Prevention Cente
 r\, Fundashon Prevenshon (FP\; Willemstad\, Curaçao) has launched populati
 on screening on Curaçao in June 2020. \nDuring the mini-conference present
 ation prof. Evelien Dekker\, a gastroenterologist at the Amsterdam UMC\, l
 ocation AMC\, will present the implementation of colorectal cancer screeni
 ng (CRC-S) in the Netherlands in the period 2014-2018. \nIn addition resul
 ts of current participation in the CRC-S program of the FP and FIT tests a
 s well as the results of colonoscopies will be presented. The pathology of
  participants in the coloscopy program of FP also will be shown.\nLouise E
