The target group is the general public aged 50 -70, and the data is analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: The results of the proactive screening for colorectal cancer use a fecal immunochemistry test (FIT) cut of 100 ng/ml. Screening by providing services at nearby hospitals when FIT results are positive; registering the colonoscopy appointment on Google Sheets; and performing bowel preparation at the community hospital. Proactive screening found that we were able to screen patients thoroughly in each area, which is not different. Compared with research statistics, there is no statistical significance; the p-value is 0.288. It shows that colorectal cancer screening services are accessible to all areas, even in remote areas, and results from colonoscopy found colonic polyps at 32.09% and cancer at 1.13%. Relevant medical personnel agree that proactive screening methods in Lamphun Province should be used as a standard approach for colorectal cancer screening.
