Abstract

Stool DNA testing for colorectal screening is a noninvasive and convenient method. Multiple studies have shown a wide range of false positive (FP) results. It is unclear if a patient with FP results are at increased long-term risk of adverse effect and currently there are no specific recommendations to guide the follow up in this cohort of patients. We aimed at finding the exact FP rate that can help design future studies.
