This study highlights significant gaps in CRC knowledge and screening awareness among Syrians, emphasizing the need to integrate education and complimentary screening into national health policies. Targeted campaigns, nonprofit collaboration, and media engagement are essential to bridge these gaps. Future research should address limitations like sampling bias and the cross-sectional design through longitudinal and comparative studies to guide tailored interventions
