lol slazer your down ramping arguments are giving me a laugh.... anyway I guess this whole getting your arm stabbed scenario instead of the much more preferred method of handling your own faeces is something that RHY may have overlooked....

The reason why compliance levels are so low for bowel screening programs is because people do not want to handle their own faeces... funny that....

The target population are those over 50 who due to age and other reasons are likely to visit their GPs on a regular basis which to your surprise includes various blood tests and screenings for age specific disease like NIDDM (type II diabetes), heart disease etc etc and even a disease called bowel cancer!

In terms of the actual rollout of the testing method you must not understand this space because it is a simple ELISA assay which is already available throughout the pathology world and requires minimal change/expense/training to test. In terms of the biochemical assay again you must not understand the process involving biomarkers and disease progression as your argument re directly sampling the faeces is so much more reliable .....

You are correct about something , this will never replace colonoscopy as the gold standard however it will reduce the need for colonoscopies which have associated risk and are expensive. A lot of patients unnecessarily get them and this test in combo with FIT will prioritise these patients even better. From memory colonoscopy had a 91% detection rate of bowelCA and the FIT/RHY test combo had a 93% specificity. The issue with FIT is false postives and low compliance
