In this episode we talk about two important non-invasive screening tests for colorectal cancer called Cologuard and Fecal immunochemical Test (FIT). Both these coloroectal cancer screening tests have their pros and cons. Understanding the sensitivity and specificity of these tests is important in understanding which test is best at detecting colorectal cancer. Remember colonoscopy remains the best screening test for colorectal cancer as it is not only the best at detection but can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by identifying and removing polyps or precancerous lesions.
