Does a long time to colonoscopy after a positive faecal immunochemical test result have a deleterious impact on colorectal cancer outcomes? A nationwide cohort study
No increased risk of CRC, advanced-stage CRC or AA was observed up to 24 months. Our findings suggest that ensuring colonoscopy compliance after a positive FIT may take precedence over rigid adherence to interval. The higher the f-Hb, the sooner the colonoscopy should be performed.
