Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Colorectal carcinoma is the fourth most commonly diagnosed malignancy. As it is hidden in many cases and as the onset is undetectable, it may prove to be fatal. Hence, early screening colorectal cancer is a way to prevent this disease. Screening depends upon various factors, such as familial history, history of the disease, or any condition which could lead to colorectal carcinoma. Various tests, such as fecal occult blood test, sigmoidoscopy, and CT scan, are available for screening. The screening method to be used depends upon various contributing factors. Screening can be invasive or can be non-invasive using many markers.
