Faecal immunochemical tests safely enhance rational use of resources during the assessment of suspected symptomatic colorectal cancer in primary care: systematic review and meta-analysis

Noel Pin-Vieito et al.

Summary: The implementation of FIT as a triage test in primary healthcare can improve referral efficiency without missing cases of CRC. FIT at a threshold of 10 μg/g shows a high sensitivity of 87.2% for CRC, while less than one additional CRC would be missed per 1000 patients investigated at a threshold of 20 μg Hb/g faeces.

Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in patients with signs or symptoms of suspected colorectal cancer (CRC): a joint guideline from the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) and the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG)

Kevin J. Monahan et al.

Summary: Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) has high sensitivity for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC). This guideline aims to provide a clear strategy for using FIT in the diagnostic pathway of people with signs or symptoms of a suspected CRC diagnosis. The guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary group and includes evidence-based recommendations and research priorities.

Who are the patients being offered the faecal immunochemical test in routine English general practice, and for what symptoms? A prospective descriptive study

Natalia Calanzani et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) in primary care practice for lower-risk patients with symptoms of colorectal cancer. The results showed that almost a quarter of the patients tested positive with FIT, but there was low agreement between patient-reported symptoms and GP-recorded symptoms.

Identifying modifiable features of home bowel cancer screening kits to facilitate use: consumer perspectives

Belinda C. Goodwin et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify features of home bowel screening kits that could be modified to increase their use through consultation with kit recipients. The findings identified six modifiable elements, including the collection tool, collection sheet, specimen container, instruction, packaging and processes. The participants preferred collection devices that limited users' proximity to faecal matter, smaller packaging, simpler processes, and step-by-step pictorial instructions.

Summary: This study found that the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) performed well in triaging patients with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer, with a positive predictive value of 7.0%, a negative predictive value of 99.8%, a sensitivity of 84.3%, and a specificity of 85.0%.

Two sides of every coin: individuals' experiences of undergoing colorectal cancer screening by faecal immunochemical test and colonoscopy

Johanna Wangmar et al.

Summary: The acceptability of colorectal cancer screening procedures is crucial for the success of screening programs. This study explored how individuals experience CRC screening, finding that experiences vary from having no worries to experiencing bothersome emotions, logistical concerns, inconsistent information, and unmet expectations. Improving patient experiences may involve using one-sample FITs, optimizing bowel preparation for colonoscopies, and delivering clear information and emotional support at the right time.

Patient experience and satisfaction with symptomatic faecal immunochemical testing: an explanatory sequential mixed-methods evaluation

Natalie Gil et al.

Summary: Recent research explored patient experience and satisfaction with symptomatic FIT in an 'early adopter' site in England. The study found that satisfaction with FIT was high, but satisfaction with GP consultation and receiving results was lower. Efforts to improve satisfaction should focus on ensuring that patients understand the purpose of the test and always receive their test results.

Measuring patient experience of diagnostic care and acceptability of testing

Alice S. Forster et al.

Summary: A positive patient experience is crucial for high-quality health services, but diagnostic care is often overlooked in patient experience assessments. It is important to assess the experience of diagnostic services and the acceptability of tests separately in order to enhance patient-centered care and support patient choice.
