Multitarget Stool DNA Testing for Colorectal Cancer Screening in Clinical Practice
Only 54.7% of patients completed their mt-sDNA test order. Older individuals were more likely to complete testing and test positive. Black patients were less likely to complete testing and, unexpectedly, less likely to test positive. Further exploration of mt-sDNA utilization including better understanding of the determinants of uptake, appropriateness, and evaluation of outcomes at colonoscopy is needed.
