DOI: 10.1002/cam4.1727
Abstract: Annual fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is cost‐effective for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. However, FIT positivity rates and positive predictive value (PPV) can vary substantially, with false‐positive (FP) results adding to colonoscopy burden without improving cancer… read more here.
