Cancer ScreeningColonoscopyColorectal CancerMass ScreeningOccult BloodBackground: Fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) and multi-target stool DNA testing (mt-sDNA) are recommended colorectal cancer screening options but require follow-up with colonoscopy to determine the source of a positive result. We ...
Panel B: Surveys 1 and 2 were the same except for Survey 2 including a statement that those with a positive stool test need to do a follow-up colonoscopy. To assess whether knowing that a + FIT requires follow-up colonoscopy affects decision making when considering FIT and colonoscopy at ...
All participants positive with either gFOBt or FIT (cut-off 20 µg Hb/g faeces) were referred for follow-up. Subgroup analysis included cut-off ... Sue,Moss,Christopher,... - Gut 被引量: 34发表: 2017年 Timeliness of Colonoscopy After Abnormal Fecal Test Results in a Safety Net Pra...
This follow-up makes it possible to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer and prevent more advanced-stage disease; low follow-up colonoscopy completion substantially reduces the effectiveness of FIT screening10,11. In addition, lengthy intervals (e.g., >10 months) between the FIT positive result ...
This suggests adenoma sensitivity may be lower for screening colonoscopy than for follow-up to a known positive stool-based test. Previous CRC microsimulation models assume identical sensitivities between screening and follow-up colonoscopies after positive stool-tests. The Colorectal Cancer and Adenoma ...
test new therapies. The evidence presented clearly demonstrates a survival benefit for patients receiving programs of more intense follow-up. The evidence for the schedule of visits and screening tests to detect disease recurrence is soft or non-existent. The evidence for the use of colonoscopy to...
FIT kits. The research team found that patients who saw theirprimary careproviders an average of one or more times a year were twice as likely to be screened for CRC, and that these individuals were 30 percent more likely to undergo a colonoscopy after receiving a positive stool blood test....
Possibly, high patient satisfaction, together with information provision, could have a positive influence on adherence to the follow-up care plan [19]. On the other hand, our patient selection facilitated the inclusion of low-risk, fit and adequate patients in remote follow-up. This could also...
Colonoscopy Should Follow Positive FIT within 9 Months, Researchers ConcludeWaiting up to nine months after a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to have a follow-up...Perry, Susan
The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is a highly recommended screeningmethod, but patientswith positive resultsmust receive a follow-up colonoscopy to determine if they have precancerous or cancerous lesions. We characterized colonoscopic follow-up evaluations and reasons for lack of follow-up in a ...
