OBJECTIVES: Screening by faecal occult blood testing (FOBT) is effective in decreasing
mortality and incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). Immunochemical tests have proved to …

Immunochemical faecal occult blood tests (I‐FOBT) detect more effectively advanced
neoplasia than guaiac tests (G‐FOBT). The study aim was to compare the performance of an …

Aim Screening by means of faecal occult blood testing (FOBT) has proved to be effective in
reducing colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. We performed a pilot screening for …

Objective—To compare the costs of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening by two faecal occult
blood tests (FOBT)—namely, Hemoccult (guaiac based) and reversed passive …

BACKGROUND: Immunochemical faecal occult blood tests have greater sensitivity for
colorectal cancer screening than guaiac-based tests; however the number of positive tests …

Immunochemical faecal occult blood tests have shown a greater sensitivity than guaiac test
in colorectal cancer screening, but optimal number of samples and cutoff have still to be …

The aim of this study was to compare the performance of a guaiac-based faecal occult blood
test (G-FOBT) with that of an immunochemical faecal occult blood test (I-FOBT). A total of …

Background Immunochemical tests show important advantages over chemical-based faecal
occult blood tests (FOBT) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, but comparison studies are …

Objective–To estimate the optimal cut off point in a new immunological method (OC-
Hemodia®) for faecal occult blood testing (FOBT). Setting–A corporate colorectal cancer …

Immunochemical faecal occult blood testing (FIT) provides quantitative test results, which
allows optimisation of the cut-off value for follow-up colonoscopy. We conducted a …
