Authors: Jesús González-Enríquez, Francesca Gillespie, Stefania Lopatriello, Iñaki Imaz

Internal reviewers: Pseudo125 Pseudo125

Refer to domain search and domain methodology section.

We have not identified clinical trials or systematic reviews comparing FIT vs gFOBT in terms of other health effects or clinical conditions not included in the project scope and requiring subsequent clinical management decisions. Therefore no direct evidence on other potential health conditions comparing FIT vs gFOBT in the context of a population based colorectal cancer screening program is available.
