Multi-target stool DNA (MT-sDNA) has greater adherence, superior sensitivity for screen-relevant lesions (including those in the proximal colon and sessile serrated architecture), and equivalent specificity to FIT over a 3-year period. Stool-based CRC screening tests are anticipated to reduce the...

(HealthDay)—Tests for blood in the stool can consistently detect colon cancer when used on an annual basis, and they are effective even in the second, third and fourth years of screening, a new study says.
Most experts recommend that people at average risk of colon cancer start having screening tests at age 50, with three options: a yearly stool test that looks for hidden blood, a test called a sigmoidoscopy every five years and stool testing every three years, or a colonoscopy every ten years...
Medicare covers colorectal screening tests for individuals older than 50. The Department of Health and Human Services provides some guidelines on Medicare coverage[6] of certain stool tests. Shopping for stool testing: Colon Health Magazine[7] is a useful resource for a broad range of information ...
Individuals with an average risk of colorectal cancer said they would prefer a stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer over colonoscopy. Most individuals with an average risk of colorectal cancer said they would prefer a stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer over colonosco...
faecal occult blood test(FOBT) and multiple gene mutations detection in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer,but the specificity of the latter was higher than FOBT(P0.05).Conclusion Detection of multiple gene mutations in stool is a vauble method in the secondary screening for colorectal cancer. ...
Polyps could be growing in the colon without causing any signs or symptoms.5Bleeding is a sign of colon cancer, but it might not appear until the cancer is in a moreadvanced stage. When polyps are removedduring a colonoscopy, there is no chance of them developing into cancer. Screening for...
A sensitive method to quantify human long DNA in stool: relevance to colorectal cancer screening. Human long DNA in stool may reflect nonapoptotic exfoliation and has been used as a colorectal cancer (CRC) marker. Targeting human-specific Alu repeats re... Zou,H. - 《Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in China with an increasing ratio of colon to rectal cancer over the decades. Early screening is the key to reducing this burden. The traditional screening methods, including colonoscopy, fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and serum ...
