| Core Tip |
Our study has determined fecal immunochemical test (FIT) diagnostic accuracy, number needed to scope and cost per lesion detected in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs. FIT is highly sensitive for CRC detection, allowing a drastic reduction in the cost per lesion detected when compared with direct screening colonoscopy. These data are relevant to design CRC screening programs in this setting.
