Faecal immunochemical test plus colonoscopy for early detection of advanced neoplasia in individuals at increased risk of colorectal cancer: a diagnostic accuracy and program evaluation study

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting Abstractpeer-review

Abstract

Post-polypectomy colonoscopy surveillance can reduce the burden of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the effectiveness of using the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) in the interval between surveillance colonoscopies for the detection of missed or rapidly progressing lesions in individuals at above-average risk of CRC, has not yet been adequately investigated. This study assessed the effectiveness of interval FIT for early detection of advanced neoplasia and the diagnostic accuracy of FIT in above-average risk people who undergo surveillance colonoscopy.
