Immunochemical fecal occult blood tests for colorectal cancer screening.
BACKGROUND The superiority of several immunochemical fecal occult blood tests (I-FOBT) over guaiac-based tests in colorectal cancer screening is now established. The aim of this study was to compare the analytical performance of 3 quantitative I-FOBTs. METHODS Stool samples from 10 healthy volunteers, initially I-FOBT negative, supplemented with human blood, were used to compare reproducibili...

Background/Aims Knowledge regarding the quality metrics of fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based colorectal cancer screening programs is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the performance and quality metrics of a FIT-based screening program. Methods In our screening program, asymptomatic subjects aged ≥50 years underwent an annual FIT, and subjects with positive FIT results und...

متن کاملDirect Comparison of Diagnostic Performance of 9 Quantitative Fecal Immunochemical Tests for Colorectal Cancer Screening.
BACKGROUND & AIMS A variety of fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) for hemoglobin (Hb) are used in colorectal cancer screening. It is unclear to what extent differences in reported sensitivities and specificities reflect true heterogeneity in test performance or differences in study populations or varying pre-analytical conditions. We directly compared the sensitivity and specificity values with ...
متن کاملEditorial Quantitation of Hemoglobin Makes Fecal Immunochemical Tests a Better FIT for Non- Invasive Screening
There are many tests options available for screening for colorectal cancer (CRC). These include endoscopy, imaging techniques, fecal tests, and emerging blood tests. Screening guidelines differ markedly between and even within countries but, recently, studies have shown that participant preferences should be considered when making CRC screening recommendations. Greater emphasis is now being dir...
