Comparison of a brush-sampling fecal immunochemical test for hemoglobin with a sensitive guaiac-based fecal occult blood test in detection of colorectal neoplasia.
BACKGROUND Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are an advanced fecal occult blood test (FOBT) technology that reduces barriers to population screening by simplifying the logistics of stool-sampling. The current study was conducted to undertake a paired comparison of a sensitive guaiac FOBT (GFOBT; Hemoccult II Sensa, Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA) with a brush-sampling FIT (InSure; Enterix, North...
متن کاملImmunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Test for Detection of Advanced Colonic Adenomas and Colorectal Cancer: Comparison with Colonoscopy Results
Background. Fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) have been used for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in several countries. There is lack of information concerning diagnostic performances of this method in Brazil. Methods. Patients scheduled for elective colonoscopy provided one stool sample one week before colonoscopy. The accuracy of a qualitative FIT for detection of CRC and advanced adenomas w...
متن کاملFecal DNA for noninvasive diagnosis of colorectal cancer in immunochemical fecal occult blood test-positive individuals.
BACKGROUND We aimed to define the potential of the fecal DNA assay as an alternative or in addition to the currently used immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. METHODS A total of 560 individuals aged 50 to 69 years with a positive iFOBT were recruited from an Italian FOBT regional screening program. Twenty-six were diagnosed with adenocar...
متن کاملFalse Negative Fecal Occult Blood Test: Prozone Effect
Dear editor, the fecal occult blood test is the presently widely used screening laboratory test for colorectal cancer. At present, the test is usually based on an immunological diagnostic principle (1, 2). A false positive fecal occult blood is common and widely mentioned in literature. Nevertheless, the false negative is little mentioned in the paper. Here, the authors discuss the issue of the...
متن کاملFecal occult blood test screening for colorectal cancer.
In summary, high-quality scientific studies indicate that the use of the FOBT for colorectal cancer screening has a number of important advantages. The test is capable of detecting most early colorectal cancers and many advanced adenomas. It has been shown in randomized, controlled trials to reduce substantially colorectal cancer mortality and incidence. The FOBT is feasible, widely available, ...
