| Core Tip |
The quantitative faecal immunochemical test for haemoglobin (FIT) has been recommended to guide referral for suspected colorectal cancer (CRC) in people with unexplained symptoms without rectal bleeding. However, the information regarding its accuracy in different settings is scarce. Our meta-analysis reveals that sensitivity for CRC may change across populations with differences in clinical symptoms, irrespective of CRC prevalence. On the other hand, we should not use this to rule out CRC if its prevalence is high. In addition, FIT is not sensitive enough to exclude other significant colonic diseases. |
