| Core Tip |
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is effective in reducing colorectal cancer (CRC) but FIT testing is not perfect. FIT interval cancers, i.e. CRCs diagnosed after a negative FIT but before the next FIT invitation, still occur. Previous studies have shown that FIT sensitivity for sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) is low, but a correlation between the occurrence of FIT interval cancers and the serrated pathway has not been established. In our study, the serrated pathway-associated molecular features were more common in FIT-interval CRCs as compared to screen detected CRCs. This indicates that proximal serrated lesions may be overrepresented among FIT interval CRCs. The findings of this study can provide guidance on strategies to further improve stool-based CRC screening with incorporating biomarkers for SSLs, thereby reducing the number of screening interval CRCs. |
