Terry Simpson Steven D Wexner MD, PhD Vanessa Tanya FIT has diagnostic accuracy equivalent or better than colonoscopy for CRC. No morbidity, no time off work, no pain and it's cheap. There may be no need for colonoscopy in pts who are low risk, or asymptomatic.
FIT can facilitate early #bowelcancer diagnosis, and is recommended by NICE DG30. BJHM have published an analysis by Muti Abulafi and myself on FIT in low risk patients and DG30. More on this to come soon from NICE FIT Study Team. #colorectalresearch magonlinelibrary.com/doi/abs/10.129…

Brilliant and honest talk on available evidence on lights and shadows of functional outcomes of #TaTME by Debby Keller, MD #ACM19 First longer term functional data on BJS!
Nick BSG @ACPGBI Royal College of General Practitioners Without the results of NICE FIT Study Team study we don’t understand the distribution of FIT in our symptomatic population. I would hope to use FIT to stratify risk and organise appropriately timed investigations in the future for these patients #colorectalresearch
Great but disturbing talk from Helen Mohan. Very few trainees achieving JAG accreditation before CCT #Asit2019
