- Abstract
New and emerging screening tools may also have a role in future CRC screening strategies.[29] These can be largely divided into stool, blood, image-based screening tests, colon capsule, metabolomics, and breath tests (Fig. Is this the end of colonoscopy screening for colorectal cancer? In contrast to the United States where screening is largely reimbursed by commercial insurance with a preference for colonoscopy, in APAC, screening is largely funded by the government with the primary screening tool being FIT (Table 1). No screening test is perfect, but in the near future, utilizing multi-omics or multiple screening tests in conjunction may be the way forward to further enhance the performance of noninvasive CRC screening strategies.
