Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Thailand evaluated the effectiveness of a multitarget stool DNA test for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) among both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients.
- The test showed a high sensitivity of 91.5% and specificity of 90.3% for CRC detection, with similar performance for right-sided and left-sided lesions, though it was less effective for smaller lesions.
- The findings suggest that this stool DNA test could serve as a valuable non-invasive screening option for CRC in Thai individuals, particularly in areas where colonoscopy is hard to access.
