BACKGROUND & AIMS: Two European randomized trials (N= 30,000) compared guaiac
fecal occult blood testing with quantitative fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) and showed …

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 …

Background The ColonCancerCheck screening program for colorectal cancer (CRC) in
Ontario, Canada, is considering switching from biennial guaiac fecal occult blood test …

Background: A nationwide colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program was set up in France
from 2009 for average-risk, asymptomatic people aged 50–74 years based on an …

OBJECTIVES: Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are preferred over guaiac-based fecal
occult blood testing as colorectal cancer (CRC) screening tool. However, hemoglobin (Hb) …

Background & Aims Several countries have implemented programs to screen for colorectal
cancer (CRC) by using the fecal immunochemical test (FIT). These programs vary …

Background Organised programmes for colorectal cancer screening demand a high burden
of medical and economic resources. The preferred methods are the faecal immunochemical …

Background: Most industrialized countries, including France, have undertaken to generalize
colorectal cancer screening using guaiac fecal occult blood tests (G-FOBT). However, recent …

Objective Several European countries are implementing organized colorectal cancer (CRC)
screening programmes using faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and/or flexible …

Background Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) can be adapted to a limited colonoscopy
capacity by narrowing the age range or extending the screening interval, by using a more …
