Timing and Risk Factors for a Positive Fecal Immunochemical Test in Subsequent Screening for Colorectal Neoplasms
BACKGROUND Following a negative test, the performance of fecal immunochemical testing in the subsequent screening round is rarely reported. It is crucial to allocate resources to participants who are more likely to test positive subsequently following an initial negative result. OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors associated with a positive result in subsequent screening. METHODS Dataset was...
متن کاملHarms, benefits and costs of fecal immunochemical testing versus guaiac fecal occult blood testing for colorectal cancer screening
BACKGROUND The ColonCancerCheck screening program for colorectal cancer (CRC) in Ontario, Canada, is considering switching from biennial guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) screening between age 50-74 years to the more sensitive, but also less specific fecal immunochemical test (FIT). The aim of this study is to estimate whether the additional benefits of FIT screening compared to gFOBT outw...
متن کاملPlasma Septin9 versus Fecal Immunochemical Testing for Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Prospective Multicenter Study
BACKGROUND Screening improves outcomes related to colorectal cancer (CRC); however, suboptimal participation for available screening tests limits the full benefits of screening. Non-invasive screening using a blood based assay may potentially help reach the unscreened population. OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of a new Septin9 DNA methylation based blood test with a fecal immunochemical...
متن کاملImmunochemical 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...
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...
