## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Most commercial fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) used for colorectal carcinoma screening of Western populations are guaiacβbased, manually developed, subjective, and sensitive to dietary components. Preliminary studies demonstrated the unsuitability of these tests for scre
## Abstract Immunochemical fecal occult blood test (FIT) is a new colorectal cancer (CRC) screening method already recommended by the American screening guidelines. We aimed to test the feasibility of FIT as compared to guaiac fecal occult blood test (GβFOBT) in a large urban population of Tel Aviv
## Abstract Colorectal cancer screening is a high public health priority in all industrialized countries. However, the low sensitivity of the common guaiac screening test (HemoccultII) makes practitioners and public health decision makers reluctant to set up a national screening program. In recent
## Abstract The purpose of the study is to evaluate a new immunochemical fecal occult blood test method (Hemosure IFOBT), and compare it to the Guaiacβbased chemical method (CFOBT) for colorectal cancer detection. A hypothetical sequential method (SFOBT), in which IFOBT was used only as a confirmat
