Comparison of a Brush-sampling Fecal Immunochemical Test for Hemoglobin With a Sensitive Guaiac-based Fecal Occult Blood Test in Detection of Colorectal Neoplasia S mith et al. 1 compared the performance of a fecal immunochem- ical test (FIT) for hemoglobin to a sensitive, guaiac-based fecal occult
## 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 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
