colorectal cancer. [3] These tests are convenient in that they can be performed at home and are less invasive than a colonoscopy. However, stool-based tests have to be done more often — in the case of FIT, every year — and a positive test result may require another screening test. [...

We aimed to: 1) compare the results of single sample faecal immunochemical tests...
Automated-developed, immunochemical, human Hb FOBT (I-FOBT) is specific, eliminates diet restrictions, and Hb quantification allows selection of a threshold for colonoscopy. Aims were to determine 1) test reproducibility; 2) test stability; 3)......
The noninvasive test joins a litany of options that clinicians can now offer individuals eligible for screening. Although the screening "gold standard" in the United States is colonoscopy, many adults avoid the invasive procedure. Until now, the most commonly used noninvasive alternatives have been...
Currently all participants of the Dutch colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program with a positive faecal immunochemical test (FIT) are seen at the outpatient clinic to assess their health status, receive information on colonoscopy and CRC risk, and provide informed consent. However, for many patients...
Four scenarios characterize the constraints and expectations of screening programs: (1) limited colonoscopy resource with a need to constrain test positivity rate; (2) a priority for maximum colorectal neoplasia detection with little need to constrain colonoscopy workload; (3) an “adequate” ...
Mr. Biden had a colonoscopy in 2021, in which a 3 millimeter "benign-appearing polyp" was identified and removed. In 1988, he had surgery to repair two brain aneurysms, which are weak bulges in arteries, and one of them leaking. Mr. Biden has never had a recurrence, his doctor said,...
