  • A study was done to see if a type of screening test called FIT was better than the usual procedure, colonoscopy, for first-degree relatives of people with colorectal cancer.
  • The researchers wanted to know if more people would agree to take the FIT test compared to colonoscopy and if both tests would find the same number of serious issues.
