Rate of Detection of Advanced Neoplasms in Proximal Colon by Simulated Sigmoidoscopy vs Fecal Immunochemical Tests

Sigmoidoscopy and FIT have similar limitations in detecting advanced proximal neoplasms, which depend on patients' characteristics; sigmoidoscopy underperforms for women 50-59 years old. Screening strategies should be designed on the basis of target population to increase effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00906997
