Abstract
The combination of sigmoidoscopy and FIT can detect advanced proximal neoplasia better than either test alone. The incremental yield of advanced neoplasm detection by a screening program that uses both a FIT and sigmoidoscopy is approximately 10%. The FIT adds the most in terms of finding proximal cancers in a screening program that uses both tests. The combination of sigmoidoscopy and FIT is a viable and useful screening option.
