Making colorectal cancer screening FITTER for purpose with quantitative faecal immunochemical tests for haemoglobin (FIT).
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of disease worldwide and a leading cause of mortality. Fortunately, CRC is a disease that meets the criteria for successful early detection and treatment through population screening. Moreover, CRC incidence is decreasing in some countries which, at least in part, may be due to the establishment and expansion of screening programmes. Screening tests can ...
متن کاملColonoscopy-controlled intra-individual comparisons to screen relevant neoplasia: faecal immunochemical test vs. guaiac-based faecal occult blood test.
BACKGROUND Guaiac-based faecal occult blood tests (g-FOBTs) are most commonly used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes. Faecal immunochemical tests (FITs) are thought to be superior. AIM To compare performance of a g-FOBT and a quantitative FIT for detection of CRCs and advanced adenomas in a colonoscopy-controlled population. METHODS We assessed sensitivity and specificity of b...
متن کاملThe comparative cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening using faecal immunochemical test vs. colonoscopy
Faecal immunochemical tests (FITs) and colonoscopy are two common screening tools for colorectal cancer(CRC). Most cost-effectiveness studies focused on survival as the outcome, and were based on modeling techniques instead of real world observational data. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of these two tests to detect colorectal neoplastic lesions based on data from a 5-year communit...
متن کاملFaecal immunochemical test accuracy in patients referred for surveillance colonoscopy: a multi-centre cohort study
BACKGROUND Given the increasing burden on colonoscopy capacity, it has been suggested that faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results could guide surveillance colonoscopy intervals. Against this background, we have evaluated the test accuracy of single and double FIT sampling to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and/or advanced adenomas in an asymptomatic colonoscopy-controlled high-risk population....
متن کاملParticipant uptake of the fecal immunochemical test decreases with the two-sample regimen compared with one-sample FIT
BACKGROUND Fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) are recommended to screen average-risk adults for colorectal cancer (CRC). Little research has examined whether a two-sample FIT affects participant uptake, compared with a one-sample FIT. Examining participant uptake is important, as evidence suggests that a two-sample FIT may increase the sensitivity to detect CRC. OBJECTIVE This study had two ob...
