Home-use faecal immunochemical testing: primary care diagnostic technology update.
156 British Journal of General Practice, March 2015 BaCkground and advantages over exIstIng teCHnology A variety of home-use faecal occult blood testing (FOBt) kits remain commercially available to UK patients despite caution regarding their safety and accuracy. FOBt is a relatively non-invasive and inexpensive test. The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) and the majority of European s...
متن کاملMaking 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 کاملFeasibility of immunochemical faecal occult blood testing for colorectal cancer screening in Bulgaria.
PURPOSE Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the second most common cancer in Europe. Screening guidelines recommend a range of screening options that include faecal occult blood tests (FOBTs). The efficacy of FOBT-based CRC screening is dependent on the participation rate, thus emphasizing the importance of the latter. This study aimed at analysing the feasibility of CRC screening with immunochemical...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of one versus two sample faecal immunochemical testing for colorectal cancer screening
OBJECTIVE The sensitivity and specificity of a single faecal immunochemical test (FIT) are limited. The performance of FIT screening can be improved by increasing the screening frequency or by providing more than one sample in each screening round. This study aimed to evaluate if two-sample FIT screening is cost-effective compared with one-sample FIT. DESIGN The MISCAN-colon microsimulation m...
متن کاملDetection of Colorectal Serrated Polyps by Stool DNA Testing: Comparison with Fecal Immunochemical Testing for Occult Blood (FIT)
OBJECTIVES Precursors to 1/3 of colorectal cancer (CRC), serrated polyps have been under-detected by screening due to their inconspicuous, non-hemorrhagic, and proximal nature. A new multi-target stool DNA test (multi-target sDNA) shows high sensitivity for both CRC and advanced adenomas. Screen detection of serrated polyps by this approach requires further validation. We sought to assess and c...
