CT colonography reduced the incidence of colorectal cancer by up to 75% versus no screening, while stool DNA testing reduced the incidence by 59%. Stool testing was cost-effective relative to no ...

Commercial FITs can match NG-MSDT diagnostic results for CRC by lowering the positivity threshold, enhancing sensitivity while maintaining specificity. FITs are accessible, noninvasive CRC screening ...

October 9, 2008 — Stool DNA testing is a new approach to screening for colorectal cancer, but it is an evolving technology. A study has found that the first-generation stool DNA test (SDT-1) is not ...

Patients with an average risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) are candidates for noninvasive tests, such as multitarget stool DNA (mtsDNA), whereas those with a higher risk, including those with a family ...

Two noninvasive screening tests appeared to be effective in detecting colorectal cancer in an average-risk population, two trials suggested. In the BLUE-C trial, a next-generation multi-target stool ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A simplified colorectal cancer screening test that detects tumor DNA in stool is an improvement over an earlier-generation assay, according to North American researchers.

Annual fecal immunochemical test-based surveillance could be as effective as colonoscopies in reducing long-term colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, according to a recent study published in ...

A recent prospective cross-sectional study in Thailand demonstrates that multitarget stool DNA testing is highly sensitive and specific for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) among Thai individuals.
