Diagnostic Performance of Immunochemical versus Guaiac Fecal Occult Blood Tests in Symptomatic Cameroonian Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy: A Cross-Sectional Diagnostic Accuracy Study

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) stands as a fundamental, non-invasive diagnostic tool for detecting subtle gastrointestinal bleeding, a common indicator of colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC remains the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. In Cameroon, despite CRC being the second most common digestive cancer, a national screening strategy is yet to be esta...
