Despite doubts about the benefits of colon cancer screening, sigmoidoscopy and fecal occult blood tests are now often performed by clinicians who must then deal with positive test results. The purpose of this literature review is to examine potential strategies for dealing with positive screening test...
OPDIVO®(nivolumab) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older with a type of colon or rectal cancer (colorectal cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), is microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair defici...
when in reality, there is no disease. A false positive result is an error, which means the result is not giving you the correct information. As an example of a false positive, suppose ablood testis designed to detectcolon cancer. The test results come back saying a person has colon ...
Colon CancerPreventionStoolAbnormalBackground & AimsThe fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is widely used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. The OC-Light FIT is 1 of 2 FITs recommended for CRC screening by the Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. However, little is known about its ability ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: In patients with positive results from a fecal immunochemical test (FIT), failure to receive a timely follow-up colonoscopy may be associated with higher risks of colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced-stage CRC. We evaluated the prevalence of any CRC and advanced-stage CRC ...
Women living with HIV (WLHIV) are at increased risk for human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated anal cancer. Given the “field effect” of HPV pathogenesis, some recommend that anal cancer screening should be limited to WLHIV with prior genital disease. This study aimed to characterize the relatio...
PHILADELPHIA — Patients with a false-positiveShield testresult did not appear to be at increased risk for non-colorectal cancer malignancies at 1 year compared with those with a true-negative result, according to a presenter here. “Although there are multiple colon ...

If a person is at risk of colon cancer, the test may need to be repeated every year. Positive result: FOBT is considered positive if blood is detected in the stool sample. An additional test such as a colonoscopy may be needed to locate the source and cause of the bleeding. FOBT is ...
Then, we found that YAP inhibition could suppress cancer progression using YAP inhibitor Verteporfin in 4NQO-induced OSCC model of E6-E7 knock-in mice. These results were consistent with the relatively high expression of YAP and its tumor-promoting role in HPV-positive cancers. The transcriptional...
