Article Synopsis
- Colonoscopy surveillance for colorectal cancer (CRC) can be burdensome for patients, and stool tests might help reduce the need for colonoscopies by identifying individuals at higher risk.
- This study involved 3453 participants aged 50-75 who completed multiple stool tests and colonoscopies to assess the accuracy of these methods for detecting advanced neoplasia.
- Results indicated that stool-based strategies could effectively reduce colonoscopy frequency by 15%-41% while being safer and more cost-effective, particularly with fecal immunochemical tests (FITs), although multitarget stool DNA testing was found to be more expensive.
