The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends colorectal cancer screening for all adults starting at age 45. After age 75, the task force recommends talking with your health care team to decide ...
Multitarget stool-based tests are showing promise for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in average-risk individuals and could edge out the current standard fecal immunochemical test (FIT). These new ...
We compared a noninvasive, multitarget stool DNA test with a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in persons at average risk for colorectal cancer. The DNA test includes quantitative molecular assays for ...
Colorectal cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, recent advancements in medical screening have brought new hope in the fight against this deadly ...
Colon cancer is the second-deadliest cancer in the US, partly due to low screening rates. New and emerging screening tools, like blood and breath tests, may offer alternatives to in-office screenings.
England’s National Health Service’s (NHS') fecal immunochemical test (FIT) has reduced referrals for suspected bowel cancer by 140,000, while the number of cancer cases has remained stable. This shows ...
Sioux Falls, S.D.-based Sanford Health has launched an initiative to mail stool-based screening kits for colorectal cancer directly to patient’s homes. As rates of colorectal cancer in the U.S.
Colon cancer is the second-deadliest cancer in America. It's not deadly because it's particularly hard to treat or because oncologists are bad at spotting it. In large part, it's because people aren't ...
