Doubling up on stool-based tests catches more colorectal cancers: study
A two-test strategy has sensitivity of almost 100% compared to 84% for a single test, research shows.
Carrying out two stool-based tests improves sensitivity and cuts the number of missed colorectal cancers, according to a UK study.
Researchers compared the diagnostic performance of a single faecal immunochemical test (FIT) versus a double FIT in symptomatic patients.
