Why choose the Fecal Immunochemical Test?
Conclusion
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) detects haemoglobin in stool using antibodies specific to human haemoglobin. FIT has gained international acceptance as the worthy successor to a conventional guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBt) for screening Colorectal cancer(CRC).
It is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. CRC almost always develops from adenomatous polyps, patients may remain asymptomatic until the cancer progresses to a fairly advanced stage. Conventional occult blood test for CRC screening utilizes gFOBt which is susceptible to dietary interferences and has limited sensitivity for adenomatous polyp (precursors for most of the CRC).
As a result of the dietary restrictions and the need for three different samples on consecutive days, adherence rates of gFOBT screening are generally poor. FIT is specific for human haemoglobin thus eliminating the need for dietary and medication restrictions, also only a single collection is required thus improving the adherence rate. The specificity of FIT is greater than 99% with reported sensitivities of 96% based on patient population.
