Colonoscopy versus Fecal Immunochemical Testing in Colorectal-Cancer Screening

Subjects in the FIT group were more likely to participate in screening than were those in the colonoscopy group, and more adenomas were identified in thecolorectal cancer group.

Abstract

Subjects in the FIT group were more likely to participate in screening than were those in the colonoscopy group. On the baseline screening examination, the numbers of subjects in whom colorectal cancer was detected were similar in the two study groups, but more adenomas were identified in the colonoscopy group.
