Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the non-return rate of faecal immunochemical tests among patients referred for high-risk colorectal cancer symptoms, finding that 11.9% of 7345 patients did not submit their tests.
- Non-returners tended to be younger, predominantly male, and from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and they exhibited different clinical outcomes compared to those who returned the test.
- Despite a higher prevalence of colorectal cancer in those who underwent investigations, the overall cancer prevalence was similar between returners and non-returners over a median follow-up of 25 months, indicating potential issues in care access or follow-up for non-returners.
