Abstract: Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) for faecal haemoglobin was introduced into primary care in National Health Service Tayside in 2015 as an adjunct to clinical assessment of new bowel symptoms. We aimed to assess the impact… read more here.

Abstract: Objective To estimate the predictive role of faecal haemoglobin (f-Hb) concentration among subjects with faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results below the positivity cut-off for the subsequent risk of advanced neoplasia (AN: colorectal cancer—CRC—or advanced adenoma).… read more here.

Abstract: Coming of age is the transition from childhood to adulthood and, traditionally, was considered to be at 21 years. It is now 21 years since the first guaiac faecal occult blood tests (gFOBT), surrogate markers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/00045632221080897
Abstract: Background Polypectomy may be performed at colonoscopy and then subsequent surveillance undertaken. It is thought that faecal haemoglobin concentration (f-Hb), estimated by quantitative faecal immunochemical tests (FIT), might be a useful tumour marker. Methods Consecutive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09691413211056970
Abstract: OBJECTIVE There is evidence that colorectal cancer screening using faecal haemoglobin is less effective in women than men. The faecal haemoglobin concentrations were therefore examined in women and men with screen-detected colorectal cancer. SETTING Scottish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09691413221110012
Abstract: Objective How faecal haemoglobin concentrations (f-Hb) vary from one round to the next in a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programme, and relate to colonoscopy findings, are unknown. Our aim was to use data from the… read more here.
