Faecal Haemoglobin: Newer Approaches to Screening and Diagnosis of Colorectal Disease
WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Faecal Haemoglobin: Newer Approaches to Screening and Diagnosis of Colorectal Disease is organized by European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) and will be held on Jan 23, 2018.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is still a very important health problem worldwide. It is the third most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. Fortunately, many screening programmes have now been set up to detect neoplasia in those who do not have any symptoms of bowel disease. These programmes lead to early detection of CRC and its precursors, which significantly improves outcomes. There are a number of strategies available for CRC screening, but faecal immunochemical test for haemoglobin (FIT) are now considered as the best currently available non-invasive investigation and are being widely established.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
