With an open view outside one's own institution. Nor J Epidemiol 2001; 11 (2): 133-135.

Even in a country like Norway, with a poor reputation for investment in medical research, some studies

may materialise against all odds. This is the story about the difficult start and first few years of flexible

sigmoidoscopy screening studies in Norway. It started in the peripheral county of Telemark with the

Telemark Polyp Study no. I (TPS-I) in 1983. We now see the success of the Norwegian Colorectal

Cancer Prevention (NORCCAP) study, which is an on-going large-scale version of the TPS-I study

comprising 21,000 men and women to be offered flexible sigmoidoscopy screening in Oslo and

Telemark after randomised invitation from the population registry.
