Association of time to colonoscopy after a positive fecal test result and fecal hemoglobin concentration with risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia

We evaluated the risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACRN) and colorectal cancer (CRC) according to time to colonoscopy after positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT), fecal hemoglobin concentration, and combination of both. We analyzed the records of 2362 patients aged ≥50 years who underwent co...

Description
Summary:We evaluated the risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACRN) and colorectal cancer (CRC) according to time to colonoscopy after positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT), fecal hemoglobin concentration, and combination of both. We analyzed the records of 2362 patients aged ≥50 years who underwent colonoscopy because of a positive FIT result through the National Cancer Screening Program of Korea. ACRN risk increased with increasing time to colonoscopy after a positive FIT (17.2%, 18.6%, 19.1%, 21.4%, and 27.2% in
