Fecal Immunochemical Test a Less Expensive Alternative for Colorectal Cancer Screening

A new study has revealed that a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) costs about one-fifth of a multi-target stool DNA test. These results align with previous studies out of Japan and the Netherlands examining FIT as an appropriate screening modality that is more cost effective than other types of noninvasive colorectal screening tests.

New Testing Method Simplifies Tuberculosis Diagnosis

In a promising new study, a multinational team of researchers may have found that having patients spit into a cup, then loading saliva into a commercially available testing cartridge can detect the bacteria that causes TB - even though the cartridge is designed to use sputum. More...
