Colonoscopy‐controlled intra‐individual comparisons to screen relevant neoplasia: faecal immunochemical test vs. guaiac‐based faecal occult blood test

Abstract

Faecal immunochemical test is more sensitive for CRC and advanced adenomas. Sensitivity of FIT for screen relevant tumours, early-stage cancers and advanced adenomas, is significantly higher. Specificity of g-FOBT is higher compared with FIT.
