Fecal Markers<br />

FOBT Screen<strong>in</strong>g asymptomatic Shown <strong>in</strong> r<strong>and</strong>omized trials that screen<strong>in</strong>g with FOBT reduced I (300, 302-306)<br />

populations mortality from CRC. Used for ad hoc CRC screen<strong>in</strong>g. Feasibility<br />

screen<strong>in</strong>g trials underway <strong>in</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> countries. Lacks<br />

sensitivity for early CRC <strong>and</strong> advanced adenomas <strong>and</strong> gives<br />

rise to many false-positive results<br />

DNA Panels Screen<strong>in</strong>g asymptomatic A large study on asymptomatic subjects showed that a DNA panel III/IV for (313-317)<br />

populations was more sensitive than FOBT for detect<strong>in</strong>g both advanced most<br />

adenomas <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>vasive CRC (79) panels.<br />

*LOE, (120): level 1, evidence from a s<strong>in</strong>gle, high-powered, prospective, controlled study that is specifically designed to test the marker, or evidence from a meta-analysis, pooled analysis<br />

or overview <strong>of</strong> level II or III studies; level II evidence from a study <strong>in</strong> which marker data are determ<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> relationship to prospective therapeutic trial that is performed to test therapeutic<br />

hypothesis but not specifically designed to test marker utility; level III, evidence from large prospective studies; level IV, evidence from small retrospective studies; level V, evidence<br />

from small pilot studies. [LOE are not <strong>in</strong>cluded for genetic tests.]
