Even with limited coverage, it is still so expensive$795that it cannot effectively compete with colonscopy for general use as a screening tool. Now, two new studies have found mutations unique to colon cancer that may lead to improvements in the ability to diagnose colorectal cancer at the ...

Colonoscopy is considered to be the gold standard in the United States for colon cancer screening, and it is often performed in average-risk, asymptomatic adults 50 and older. But, in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Italy, colonoscopy is typically performed for average...
The stool DNA test is typically recommended every 1 to 3 years for people with an average risk of colon or rectal cancer. An average risk of colon cancer includes anyone aged 45 years or older without symptoms. Other important factors that can affect whether the stool DNA test is recommended...
No one wants a colonoscopy. But there's no getting around the lifesaving procedure—the gold standard for colon cancer detection.

The traditional screening methods, including colonoscopy, fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), have reached a bottleneck, especially for early-stage colon cancer (ECC) due to its occult onset. Thus, precision and effective non-invasive biomarkers are highly ...
Gene Mutations in Advanced Colonic Polyps: Potential Marker Selection for Stool-Based Mutated Human DNA Assays for Colon Cancer Screening The detection and removal of advanced colonic polyps (ACPs) can help prevent the development of colorectal cancer. A set of DNA mutations known to be assoc......
gene expression studies on non-invasive samples using carefully selected tumor-specific colon cancer genes, we can quantitatively and accurately monitor changes at various stages in the neoplastic process, allowing for surgical and/or other therapies, and thus, decrease mortality from colorectal cancer....
When given a choice, most individuals with an average risk of colorectal cancer said they would prefer a stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer over colonoscopy, the method most often recommended by health care providers, according to results p
