Quantitation of faecal <i>Fusobacterium</i> improves faecal immunochemical test in detecting advanced colorectal neoplasia

Abstract

This study identified marker <i>Fn</i> as a valuable marker to improve diagnostic performance of FIT, providing a complementary role to detect lesions missed by FIT alone. This simple approach may improve the clinical utility of the current FIT, and takes one step further towards a non-invasive, potentially more accurate and affordable diagnosis of advanced colorectal neoplasia.
