| description | In Malaysia, colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer. Early detection through screening programmes is one of the most important public health initiatives in reducing cancer-related death.

The aim of this article is to explore the possible reasons for low colorectal screening uptake among primary care physicians. |
