Journal ArticleDOI

Multitarget Stool DNA Testing for Colorectal-Cancer Screening

TL;DR: In asymptomatic persons at average risk for colorectal cancer, multitarget stool DNA testing detected significantly more cancers than did FIT but had more false positive results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and Cancer IV. Colorectal cancer in inflammatory bowel disease: the role of inflammation

TL;DR: Observations of mice genetically prone to inflammatory bowel disease also develop colorectal cancer especially in the presence of bacterial colonization offer compelling support for the role of inflammation in colon carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal inflammation and cancer

TL;DR: The genetic features that lead to sporadic CRC-chromosome instability, microsatellite instability, and DNA hypermethylation-also occur in colitis-associated CRC, offering compelling support for the role of inflammation in colon carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fecal DNA versus fecal occult blood for colorectal-cancer screening in an average-risk population.

TL;DR: Although the majority of neoplastic lesions identified by colonoscopy were not detected by either noninvasive test, the multitarget analysis of fecal DNA detected a greater proportion of important colorectal neoplasia than did Hemoccult II without compromising specificity.
