Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major malignancy threatening the health of people in China and screening could be effective for preventing the occurrence and reducing the mortality of CRC. We conducted a multicenter, prospective clinical study which recruited 4,245 high‐risk CRC individuals defined as having positive risk‐adapted scores or fecal immunochemical test (FIT) results, to evaluate the clinical performance of the multitarget fecal immunochemical and stool DNA (FIT‐sDNA) test for CRC screening. Each participant was asked to provide a stool sample prior to bowel preparation, and FIT‐sDNA test and FIT were performed independently of colonoscopy. We found that 186 (4.4%) were confirmed to have CRC, and 375 (8.8%) had advanced precancerous neoplasia among the high CRC risk individuals. The sensitivity of detecting CRC for FIT‐sDNA test was 91.9% (95% CI, 86.8–95.3), compared with 62.4% (95% CI, 54.9–69.3) for FIT ( P 〈 0.001). The sensitivity for detecting advanced precancerous neoplasia was 63.5% (95% CI, 58.3–68.3) for FIT‐sDNA test, compared with 30.9% (95% CI, 26.3–35.6) for FIT ( P 〈 0.001). Multitarget FIT‐sDNA test detected more colorectal advanced neoplasia than FIT. Overall, these findings indicated that in areas with limited colonoscopy resources, FIT‐sDNA test could be a promising further risk triaging modality to select patients for colonoscopy in CRC screening.
