DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2018.11.014
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent guidelines propose higher adenoma detection rate (ADR) benchmarks for colonoscopies performed for positive results for fecal immunochemical tests (FIT), but this is based on low-quality evidence. We aimed to compare ADR,… read more here.

Abstract: for hemoglobin (FIT) is the main pillar of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs. The age range targeted by these programs, typically ≥50 years, corresponds to the age range in which cardiovascular morbidities are increasingly prevalent.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/flgastro-2019-101381
Abstract: Faecal calprotectin (FC) and the faecal immunochemical test for haemoglobin (FIT) are recommended for use in primary care where colorectal cancer (CRC) is not suspected.1 2 We are unclear how best to use these two… read more here.

Abstract: Objective The English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) recommends 3 yearly colonoscopy surveillance for patients at intermediate risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) postpolypectomy (those with three to four small adenomas or one ≥10 mm). We investigated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1940-6207.capr-21-0552
Abstract: Fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) are increasingly used as noninvasive screening tests in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are increasingly propagated for risk stratification in CRC screening. We aimed to assess the… read more here.
