Abstract: Diagnostic screening can potentially reduce mortality from Colon Cancer (CC) detection because it enhances premalignant detection. The commonly used immunological Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBTi) screening lacks sensitivity and imposes dietary restriction, resulting in decreased compliance. The Gold Standard for ColoRectal Cancer (CRC) screening “Colonoscopy†--not requiring dietary restriction-- is invasive, often accompanied by abdominal pain, has potential for complications, is not economical, and could also lead to mortality.
