Article Synopsis
- Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosing colorectal cancers but has low patient compliance due to discomfort and risks associated with the procedure.
- A study compared the sensitivity and specificity of a double immunochemical FECA test for faecal haemoglobin and albumin against colonoscopy, finding the test had a sensitivity of 52.7% and specificity of 92.3% for significant neoplastic lesions.
- While the FECA test showed better sensitivity than other non-invasive tests, it still doesn't match colonoscopy, suggesting that the latter may still be necessary as a primary screening method in some cases.
