Although research has shown that stool-based tests are less sensitive in detecting right- than left-sided cancer (3), few long-term studies have been published to help gauge the ability of these tests to reduce the risk for death from right colon cancer over several screening rounds, as ...
This study has attempted to assess the effectiveness of quantitative faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) for triage of people presenting with lower abdominal symptoms, where a referral to secondary care for investigation of suspected colorectal cancer (CRC) is being considered, particularly when the 2-we...
