In the US Preventive Services Task Force Evidence Report titled “Screening for Colorectal Cancer: Updated Evidence Report and Systematic Review for the US Preventive Services Task Force,”1 published in the May 18, 2021, issue of JAMA, incorrect terminology appeared in the “Accuracy of Screening” subsection of the Results. In the third sentence of the paragraph below the “High-Sensitivity gFOBT” heading and in the fifth and sixth sentences of the paragraph below the “Fecal Immunochemical Test” heading, “advanced adenocarcinoma” should have read “advanced adenoma.” This article was corrected online.
