    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening in reducing mortality in asymptomatic individuals. Methodology: This was a systematic, observational, and retrospective review. The search was limited to full-text articles, subjected to critical reading, using the Grade assessment to identify their level of evidence. Of the total 100% (10) scientific articles reviewed, 40% (4) were from Spain, 10% (1) from the United Kingdom, 10% (1) from China, 10% (1) from Canada, 10% (1) from Norway, 10% (1) from the United States, and 10% (1) from the Netherlands. Results: According to the findings of the reviewed scientific studies, 9 out of 10 articles demonstrated that colorectal cancer screening is effective in reducing mortality in asymptomatic individuals. Conclusions: The systematic review allows us to evidence that colorectal cancer screening is effective in reducing mortality in asymptomatic individuals because it is a test that provides greater accuracy in the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer in its initial stages, thereby contributing to prevention, timely treatment, and increasing the chances of a cure.
