Gastric cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About half of
the incidence of gastric cancer is observed in East Asian countries, which show a higher …

Objective Faecal immunochemical tests (FITs) are replacing guaiac faecal occult blood tests
(gFOBTs) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Incidence of interval 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 …

Background: The guaiac faecal occult blood test (G-FOBT) is recommended as a screening
test for colorectal cancer but its low sensitivity has prevented its use throughout the world …

Background & Aims: We conducted a study to estimate population coverage and detection
rate (DR) achievable through different strategies of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening …

Background: Although there is general consensus concerning the efficacy of colorectal
cancer screening, there is a lack of agreement about which routine screening strategy …

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

Background & Aims We investigated whether 2 quantitative fecal immunochemical tests
(FITs) with the same cutoff concentration of fecal hemoglobin perform equivalently in …

OBJECTIVE: There is now strong evidence that screening for colorectal cancer with fecal
occult blood tests (FOBTs) is effective in reducing the incidence and mortality of this disease …

Lung cancer screening programmes using chest X-ray and sputum cytology are routinely
performed in Japan; however, the efficacy is insufficient. Screening using low-dose …
